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:

The diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. Figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed,and figure $(ii)$ shows the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale.

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 $..... \ mm$.

Student $A$ and Student $B$ used two screw gauges of equal pitch and $100$ equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is $0.322 \, \text{cm}$. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students $A$ and $B$ is .... .
Given pitch $= 0.1 \, \text{cm}$.

$A$ vernier callipers used by a student has $20$ divisions in $1\;cm$ on the main scale. $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. When the jaws are closed,the zero of the main scale is to the left of the zero of the vernier scale,and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The student places a wooden cylinder between the jaws to measure its length. The zero of the vernier scale is to the right of the $3.20\;cm$ mark,and the $8^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. When measuring the thickness (diameter) of the cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right of the $1.50\;cm$ mark,and the $6^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The correct values of the measured length and diameter are respectively:
