The diameter of a cylinder is measured using avernier cailiperse with no zero error. It is found that the zero of tlie vernier scale lies between 5.10 cm and 5.15 cm of the main scale. The vernier scale has 50 divisions equivalent to -2.45 cm. The 24 th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincide with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is

A

5.124cm

B

5.10cm

C

5.0976cm

D

4.94cm

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

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

In a slide calipers, (m+1) number of vernier divisions is equal to m number of smallest main scale divisions. If d unit is the magnitude of the smallest main scale division, then the magnitude of the vernier constant is

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level. If screw gauge has a zero error of -0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball 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 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?

When the diameter of a wire is measured by a screw gauge the main scale and the circular scale readings are 0 mm and 52 respectively. Given screw pitch = 1mm and number of divisions on the circular scale = 100. Find out the diameter of the wire.
