The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1 \ mm$,and $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $2.0 \ cm$ and $2.1 \ cm$ of the main scale,and the fifth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the sphere is:

  • A
    $2.05 \ cm$
  • B
    $3.05 \ cm$
  • C
    $2.50 \ cm$

While measuring the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge, the following readings were noted. The main scale reading is $1 \,mm$ and the circular scale reading is equal to $42$ divisions. The pitch of the screw gauge is $1 \,mm$ and it has $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire is $\frac{x}{50} \,mm$. The value of $x$ is:

$A$ screw gauge has $50$ divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is $4$ units ahead of the pitch scale marking,prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale,a displacement of $0.5\, mm$ is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved,and the least count of the screw gauge,are respectively

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:

The length of a cylinder is measured with the help of vernier callipers whose nine divisions of the main scale are equal to ten divisions of the vernier scale. The smallest division on the main scale is $0.5 \ mm$. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale has just crossed the $78^{th}$ division of the main scale,and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $..... \ mm$.

The smallest division on the main scale of a Vernier calipers is $0.1 \text{ cm}$. Ten divisions of the Vernier scale correspond to nine divisions of the main scale. The figure below on the left shows the reading of this calipers with no gap between its two jaws. The figure on the right shows the reading with a solid sphere held between the jaws. The correct diameter of the sphere is (in $\text{ cm}$)
