Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions in its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then :

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 . Further, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of - 0.03mm . While main scale reading of 3mm and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35 . the dimeter of the wire is

A screw gauge with a pitch of 0.5 mm and a circular scale with 50 divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two laws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the 45^(th) division coincides with the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet is the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25^(th) division coincides with the main scale line ?

A screw gauge with a pitch of 0.5 mm and a circular scale with 50 division is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two jaws of the screw are brought in constant, 45th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of main scale line and that the zero of main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet, if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and 25th division coincides with the main scalel line ?

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 division on the circular scale. While measuring the diameter of a wire, the linear scale reads 1mm and 47th division on circular scale coincides with the reference line. The length of the wire is 5.6 cm. Find the curved surface area (in cm^2) of the wire in proper significant figures.

If the number of divisions on the circular scale is 100 and number of full rotations given to screw is 8 and distance moved by the screw is 4 mm, then what will be least count of the screw gauge ?

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 50 divisions on its cap. When nothing is put in between the studs, 44th divisions of the circular scale coincides with the reference line and the line and the zero of the main scale is not visible or zero of circular scale is lying above the reference line. When a glass plate is placed between the studs, the main scale reads three divisions and the circular scale reads 26 divisions. Calculate the thickness of the plate.

Internal micrometer is a measuring intrument used to measure internal diameter (ID) of a large cylinder bore with high accuracy. Construction is shown in figure. There is one fixed rod B (to the right in figure) and one moved rod A (to the left in figure). It is based on the particle of advancement of a screw when it is rotated in a nut with internal threads. Main scale reading can be directly seen on the hub which is fixed with respect to rod B. When the cap is rotated rod A moves in or cut depending on direction of rotation. The circular scale reading is seen by checking which division of circular scale coincide with the references line This is to be multiplied by LC to get circular scale reading. Least count = value of 1 circular scale division = ("pitch")/("number of division on circular scale") Length of rod A is chosen to match the ID(PQ) to be measured. Zero error is checked by taking reading between standard blocks fixed at normal value of ID to be measured. Zero error is positive if cap end is one the right of the main scale and negative it is on the left side. In an internal micrometer, main scale division is of 0.5 mm and there are 50 divisions in circular scale. The least count of the instrument is-

A vernier callipers has 20 divisions on the vernier scale which coincide with 19 divisions on the main scale. The least count of the instrument is 0.1 mm. The main scale divisions are of

Zero error is positive if cap end is one the right of the main scale and negative it is on the left side. During zero setting of the above instrument, the end of the cap is on left side of the zero of main scale (i.e. zero of main scale is not visible) and 41^(th) division of circular scale coincides with the reference line, the zero error is -
