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 $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$.
