A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale :
The pitch of the screw gauge is:

A

`0.25 mm`

B

`0.5 mm`

C

`1.0 mm`

D

`0.01 mm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Least count = `("Pitch")/("Number of division on circular scale")`
`implies 0.01 mm = ("Pitch")/(50)`
`implies ` pitch = `0.5 mm`.

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular scale. In measuring the diameter of a sphere there are six divisions on the linear scale and forty divisions on circular scale coincide with the reference line. Find the diameter of the sphere.

A screw gauge advances by 3mm in 6 rotations. There are 50 divisions on circular scale. Find least count of screw gauge

A vernier calipers and a screw gauge have the same least count and zero error with the difference that the vernier calipers has positive zero error and the screw gauge has negative zero error. The number of circular scale divisions on the screw gauge is twice the number of vernier scale divisions on the vernier calipers and the pitch of the screw gauge is 1mm. If the vernier coinciding division and the circular are 3 and 97, respectively then find the number of vernier scale divisions on the vernier calipers.

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.

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.55mm and there are 100 divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads +2 divisions when nothing is put in between its jaws. In measuring the diameter of a wire, there are 8 divisions on the main scale and 83^(rd) division coincides with the reference. Then the diameter of the wire is

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5mm and there are 50 divisions on its circular scale and one main scale division =0.5 mm. Before starting the measurement it is found that when jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the zero of the circular scale lies 4 division above the reference line. when a metallic wire is placed between the jaws, five main scale divisions are clearly visible and 18^(th) division on the circular scale coincides with the reference line. the diameter of the wire is

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5mm and there are 50 divisions on circular scale. When there is nothing between the two ends (studs) of screw gauge, 45th division of circular scale is coincide with screw guage, and in this situation zero of main scale is not visible. When a wire is place between the studs, the linear scale reads 2 divisions and 20th divisions of circular scale coincides with references line. For this situation mark the correct statement(s).
