The circular scale of a screw gauge has 50 divisions and pitch of 0.5 mm. Find the diameter of sphere. Main scale reading is 2 -

A

`1.2`

B

`1.25`

C

`2.207`

D

`2.25`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Least count `= (0.5)/(50) = 0.01 mm`
Diameter of sphere
`= 2 xx 0.5 + (25 - 5)xx 0.01 = 1.2 mm`

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions in its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then :

A screw gauge with a pitch of 0.5 mm and a circular scale with 50 division is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two jaws of the screw are brought in constant, 45th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of main scale line and that the zero of main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet, if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and 25th division coincides with the main scalel line ?
