उत्तर
Diagram of screw gauge:

Main parts and their functions:
- Ratchet:It advances the screw by turning it until the object is gently held between the stud and spindle of screw.
- Sleeve:It marks the main scale and base line.
- Thimble:It marks the circular scale.
- Main scale:It helps to read the length correct up to 1 mm.
- Circular scale:It helps to read length correct up to 0.01 mm.

Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a vernier callipers. Name its main parts and state their functions.
Up to how many decimal places can a common vernier callipers measure the length in cm?
Define the term pitch.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 8 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 3 divisions and the 24th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale are 20 to a centimetre and circular scale has 50 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter.
- least count
- corrected diameter.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to screw gauge?
Zero error
In the following figure, the pitch of the screw is 1 mm. Calculate:
(i) the least count of screw gauge and
(ii) the reading represented in the figure.

State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.
With the help of vernier caliper we can have an accuracy of 0.1 mm and with screw gauge we can have an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
Least count of a vernier caliper is ______ cm.
