Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1 \ mm$ on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. The screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.03 \ mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3 \ mm$ and the $35^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)

  • A
    $3.38$
  • B
    $3.32$
  • C
    $3.73$
  • D
    $3.67$

The least count of the main scale of a screw gauge is $1\, mm$. The minimum number of divisions on its circular scale required to measure $5\,\mu m$ diameter of a wire 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 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 $..... \ mm$.

Length of $9 \ MSD$ of a vernier caliper are equal to $10 \ VSD$ and $1 \ MSD = 1 \ mm$. For measuring the length of a rod,the reading on the main scale is $6.4 \ cm$ and the $8^{th}$ division on the vernier scale is in line with a marking on the main scale. If there is no zero error,find the length of the rod: (in $cm$)

$A$ travelling microscope is used to determine the refractive index of a glass slab. If $40$ divisions are there in $1 \; cm$ on the main scale and $50$ Vernier scale divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions,then the least count of the travelling microscope is $\dots \times 10^{-6} \; m$.
