In a vernier callipers,$(N+1)$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $N$ divisions of main scale. If $1 \text{ MSD}$ represents $0.1 \text{ mm}$,the vernier constant (in $\text{cm}$) is:

In a screw gauge,the fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed. There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by $0.5 \, mm$ on a complete rotation. For a particular observation,the reading on the main scale is $5 \, mm$ and the $20^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Calculate the true reading in $mm$.

The least count of a vernier caliper is $\frac{1}{20N} \text{ cm}$. The value of one division on the main scale is $1 \text{ mm}$. Then the number of divisions of the main scale that coincide with $N$ divisions of the vernier scale is:

The vernier constant of Vernier callipers is $0.1 \,mm$ and it has zero error of $(-0.05) \,cm$. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the main scale reading is $1.7 \,cm$ and the coinciding vernier division is $5$. The corrected diameter will be ........... $\times 10^{-2} \,cm$.

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(a)$ The screw moves $0.5\,mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(b)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(c)$ Main scale reading is $2.5\,mm$.
$(d)$ The $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is on the pitch line.
$(e)$ The instrument has a $0.03\,mm$ negative zero error.
Then the diameter of the wire is $...........\,mm$.
