The circular scale of a micrometer has `200` divisions and pitch of `2 mm`. Find the measured value of thickness of a thin sheet.
.

A

`3.41 mm`

B

`6.41 mm`

C

`3.46 mm`

D

`3.51 mm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Least count `= ("pitch")/("No. of divisions")=(2)/(200)=0.01mm`, Reading `= 3 xx 2+(46-5)(0.01)=4.41mm`.

The circular scale head of a screw gauge is divided into 200 divisions and move 1 mm ahead in one revolution. The diameter of the wire, when the pitch scale reading shows 6mm (when the wire is firmly held between the studes) and 45^(th) division on circular scale coincides with the reference line.

Distance travelled by linear scale of screw gauge during two full rotation of circular scale is 1mm and circular scale has 50 divisions. In an experiment to measure thickness of a plate, six divisions of main scale are clearly visible and 28^(th) division of circular scale coincides with reference line. Moreover when studs touch each other, zero of circular scale lies 4 division below the reference line, thickness of the plate will be:

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 ?
