When a screw gauge of least count 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.What is the diameter of the wire in cm ?

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1mm and its cap is divided into 100 divisions. When this screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of a wire, then main scale reading is 2 mm and 58^(th) division of circular scale coincides with the main scale. There is no zero error in the screw gage. Then the diameter of the wire is

A student measued 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 erroof -0.004 cm , the correct diameter of the ball is

A student measured the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge with least count 0.001cm and listed the measurement. The correct measurement is

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 screw gauge gives the following reading when used to mesure the diametre of a wire. Main scale reading : 0 mm Circular scale reading : 52 divisions Given that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale. the diameter of wire from the above data is :

A screw gauge has a least count 0.001 cm and zero error + 0.007 cm. Draw a neat diagram to represent it.

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular head. While measuring the diameter of a wire, the main scale reads 3 mm and the 55th division is in line with the base line. Find the diameter of the wire. Assume that the screw gauge is free from zero error.

A screw gauge with a pitch of 1 mm has 100 divisions on its circular scale. What it is used to measure the diameter of a thin wire, the main scale reading is 3 mm and the circular scale reading is 45. If D is the diameter of the wire in mm, then find the value of D.

The diameter of a wire as measured by a screw gauge was found to be 1.002 cm, 1.000 cm, 1.006 cm .The absolute error in the second reading is
