उत्तर

No, we cannot measure the thickness of a paper with vernier caliper as its least count is only 0.1mm. We should use a screw gauge instead as its least count is 0.01 mm as the thickness of the paper is in the range of 10-2 mm.

Describe the procedure to measure the diameter of a wire with the help of a screw gauge.


The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. In measurement of the diameter of a wire, the main scale reads 2 mm and 45th mark on the circular scale coincides with the base line. Find

(i) The least count and

(ii) The diameter of the wire.


Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.  

Find:
(i) Pitch of the screw gauge,
(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.


State the formula for determining a pitch


State the correction if the positive error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.


Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the internal diameter of a hollow cylinder?


The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions for one rotation. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two rotations.

  1. What is the pitch of the screw?
  2. What is the least count of screw gauge?
  3. When the screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of wire the reading on the sleeve is found to be 0.5 mm and reading on thimble is found, 27 divisions. What is the diameter of the wire in centimetres?
