Determine the thickness of a single sheet of your science textbook with the help of a Screw gauge .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pitch scale reading = 0 . 0 5 m m L. C = 0 . 1 m m
Head scale coincidence = 02
The thickness of a single sheet of science text book = PSR + HSC + L . C + ZE
= 0 . 5 m m + (02` xx` 0.1)
= 0.05 mm + 0.2 mm
= 0.07 mm
