The pitch of a screw gauge is 1mm and its cap is divided into 100 divisions. When this screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of a wire, then main scale reading is 2 mm and 58^(th) division of circular scale coincides with the main scale. There is no zero error in the screw gage. Then the diameter of the wire is

A screw gauge with a pitch of 1 mm has 100 divisions on its circular scale. What it is used to measure the diameter of a thin wire, the main scale reading is 3 mm and the circular scale reading is 45. If D is the diameter of the wire in mm, then find the value of D.

In a screw guage the graduation in the circular scale consists of 100 equal divisions and 10 complete rotation of athe cap is equivalent to 5mm on the main scale . While measuring diameter of a wire with screw gauge a particular observation gives initial circular cap reading as 57 and after completing 3 complete rotation the final circular cap reading as 63 . it is observed that while proceeding from initial reading to final reading the cap reading increases. calculate the diameter of the wire from the above data.
