The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $5.10 \ cm$ and $5.15 \ cm$ of the main scale. The vernier scale has $50$ divisions equivalent to $2.45 \ cm$. The $24^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $5.112$
  • B
    $5.124$
  • C
    $5.136$
  • D
    $5.148$

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 $...........\,mm$.

$A$ screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire:
Main scale reading: $0 \, mm$
Circular scale reading: $52$ divisions
Given that $1 \, mm$ on the main scale corresponds to $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is ...... $cm$.

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 vernier callipers,$10$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $9$ divisions of main scale. One division of main scale is of $0.1 \ cm$. If in the measurement of inner diameter of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies between $1.3 \ cm$ and $1.4 \ cm$ of the main scale and the $2^{\text{nd}}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division,then the diameter will be: (in $cm$)

In a vernier callipers,each $cm$ on the main scale is divided into $20$ equal parts. If the $10^{th}$ vernier scale division coincides with the $9^{th}$ main scale division,then the value of the vernier constant will be $\dots \; \times 10^{-2} \; mm$.
