The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on circular scale. When the two studs of the screw gauge are touching each other, the 32^(nd) division of the circulasr scale coincides with the reference line / base line / index line on the pitch scale. When a glass plate is placed in between the studs firmly, the pitch scale reads 4 divisions and the circular scale reads 16 divisions Zero correction of the instrument is

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1mm and there are 100 divisions on its circular scale. When nothing is put in between the studs and the two studs are in contact as well, the zero of the circular line lies 6 divisions above the reference line. When a thin uniform wire is placed firmly between the two studs, 2 divisions on the pitch scale / linear scale are clearly visible, while 62^(nd) division on the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1mm on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is 50. Fuerther, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of -0.03 mm, while measuring the diameter of a thin wire , a student notes the main scale reading of 3 mm and the total no. of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35. The diameter of the wire is

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and there are 100 divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads + 2 divisions, when no object is placed between the studs which are firmly in contact. In measuring the diameter of wire, there are 4 divisions on the pitch scale and 83^(rd) division of the of the circular scale coincides with the base line / reference line. Then the diameter of the wire is

In a screw gauge, 5 complete rotations of circular scale give 1.5 mm reading on pitch scale. Consider circular scale has 50 divisions. Least count of the screw gauge is
