In a screw gauge, when the circular scale is given five complete rotations, it moves linearly by $2.5 \text{ mm}$. If the circular scale has $100$ divisions, the least count of the screw gauge is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$.

If the screw on a screw gauge is given six rotations,it moves by $3\; mm$ on the main scale. If there are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,the least count of the screw gauge is:

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 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 pitch and the number of divisions on the circular scale for a given screw gauge are $0.5\,mm$ and $100$ respectively. When the screw gauge is fully tightened without any object,the zero of its circular scale lies $3$ divisions below the mean line. The readings of the main scale and the circular scale for a thin sheet are $5.5\,mm$ and $48$ respectively. The thickness of this sheet is: (in $,mm$)
