$A$ student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that the zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00 \; cm$ and $7.05 \; cm$ mark of the main scale and the $23^{rd}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be (in $; cm$)

  • A
    $7.23$
  • B
    $7.023$
  • C
    $7.073$
  • D
    $7.73$

There are two Vernier calipers,both of which have $1 \ cm$ divided into $10$ equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers $(C_1)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $9$ main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper $(C_2)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $11$ main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in $cm$) by calipers $C_1$ and $C_2$,respectively,are

The circular divisions of a screw gauge are $50$. It moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one rotation. When the diameter of a wire is measured,the main scale reading is $3.5 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $32$. If the zero error (positive) in the screw gauge is $0.06 \ mm$,then the diameter of the wire is:

In a screw gauge,there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the main scale moves by $0.5\,mm$ on a complete rotation of the circular scale. The zero of the circular scale lies $6$ divisions below the line of graduation when two studs are brought in contact with each other. When a wire is placed between the studs,$4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while the $46^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$.

Using a screw gauge with a pitch of $0.1 \ cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale,the thickness of an object is measured. How should the measurement be correctly recorded (in $cm$)?

In an experiment,the angles are required to be measured using an instrument in which $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with the $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half a degree $(=0.5^{\circ})$,then the least count of the instrument is
