When the gap is closed without placing any object in a screw gauge whose least count is $0.005 \ mm$,the $5^{th}$ division on its circular scale coincides with the reference line on the main scale. When a small sphere is placed,the reading on the main scale advances by $4$ divisions,whereas the circular scale reading advances by five times the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are $200$ divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is .......... $mm$.

  • A
    $4.10$
  • B
    $4.05$
  • C
    $2.10$
  • D
    $2.05$

For the determination of the refractive index of a glass slab,a travelling microscope is used whose main scale contains $300$ equal divisions equal to $15 \ cm$. The vernier scale attached to the microscope has $25$ divisions equal to $24$ divisions of the main scale. The least count $(LC)$ of the travelling microscope is (in $cm$):

The vernier calliper used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.3 \ mm$. While taking measurement for the internal diameter of a vessel,it was observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $9.5 \ cm$ and $9.6 \ cm$ of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count of the vernier calliper is $0.01 \ cm$,the correct value of the diameter will be: (in $cm$)

The main scale of a vernier caliper reads in millimeters and its vernier scale is divided into $8$ divisions,which coincide with $5$ divisions of the main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale coincides with the zero of the main scale. $A$ rod is placed between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies just to the left of the $36^{th}$ division of the main scale and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The measured value is .......... $cm$.
