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:

  • A
    $3.82 \ mm$
  • B
    $3.76 \ mm$
  • C
    $3.88 \ mm$
  • D
    None of these

The vernier scale used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.2\, mm$. If while taking a measurement it was noted that the '$0$' on the vernier scale lies between $8.5\, cm$ and $8.6\, cm$ and the vernier coincidence is $6$,then the correct value of measurement is ............. $cm$. (Least count $= 0.01\, cm$)

$A$ tiny metallic rectangular sheet has a length and breadth of $5 \ mm$ and $2.5 \ mm$,respectively. Using a specially designed screw gauge which has a pitch of $0.75 \ mm$ and $15$ divisions on the circular scale,you are asked to find the area of the sheet. In this measurement,the maximum fractional error will be $\frac{x}{100}$ where $x$ is . . . . . .

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:

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers,$5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge,one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

The main scale division of a vernier caliper is $1 \ mm$. The vernier scale divisions are in an arithmetic progression $(A.P.)$; the $1^{st}$ division is $0.95 \ mm$, the $2^{nd}$ division is $0.90 \ mm$, and so on. When an object is placed between the jaws of the vernier caliper, the zero of the vernier scale lies between $3.1 \ cm$ and $3.2 \ cm$, and the $4^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The reading of the vernier caliper is .......... $cm$.
