20 vernier divisions are equal to 19 main scale division of an instrument of vernier constant 0.1 mm. What is the length of its smallest main scale divisions ?

The smallest main scale division of a vernier caliper = 1 mm. Here 20 vernier divisions = 16 main scale divisions. The vernier constant is

20 vernier divisions coincide with 19 main scale divisions of a vernier. The smallest main scale division is 0.5 mm. When it measures the side of a cube the main scale and the vernier readings are 10 mm and 2, respectively. If the mass of the cube is 2.736 g, find out the density of its material keeping the significant digits only.

A student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose 50 divisions of the vernier scale are equal to 49 divisions of the main scale. He noted that zero of the vernier scale is between 7.00 cm and 7.05 cm mark of the main scale and 23rd division of the vernier scale exactly coninides with the scale. the measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be

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 Aluminum. Before starting the measurement it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact the 45th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25th division coincides with the main scale line?

A screw gauge has 50 circular scale divisions and a pitch of 0.1 cm. When this is used to measure the thickness of a plate the main scale reading is 0.2 cm and the circular scale reading is 35. What is the thickness of the plate?
