The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and the head scale is divided in 100 parts. What is the least count of screw gauge ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the least count of a screw gauge, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Pitch**: The distance moved by the spindle per one complete revolution of the screw gauge. In this case, it is given as 0.5 mm. - **Number of Divisions on Head Scale**: The number of divisions on the head scale of the screw gauge, which is given as 100. ...

State one use of a screw gauge .

The pitch of screw gauge is 1mm and its circular scale is divided into 100 divisions. When nothing is put between the studs, the zero of main scale is not seen, but when circular scale is rotated by 450^(@) the zero of main scale is seen and the zero of mai scale coincides with the zero of circular scale. When a glass plate is placed betwen the studs, the ciruclar scale lies beteen 18^(th) and 19^(th) division of main scale and circular scale reads 34 divisions. Then

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and there are 50 divisions on the circular scale. In measuring the thickness of a metal plate, there are five divisions on the pitch scale (or main scale) and thirty fourth divisions coincide with the reference line. Calculate the thickness of the metal plate.
