If the number of divisions on the circular scale is 100 and number of full rotations given to screw is 8 and distance moved by the screw is 4 mm, then what will be least count of the screw gauge ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.005 mm
Pitch = `(4)/(8)`mm = 0.5 mm
L.C. = `(0.5)/(100)` mm = 0.005 mm
