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

In searle's experiment, the diameter of the wire, as measured by a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm is 0.500 cm. The length, measured by a scale of least count 0.1cm is 110.0cm. When a weight of 40N is suspended from the wire, its extension is measured to be 0.125 cm by a micrometer of least count 0.001 cm. Find the Young's modulus of the meterial of the wire from this data.
