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 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 of pitch 1.0 mm has 200 divisions on its circular scale. Find out its least count.
