उत्तर

Number of circular scale divisions = 100
Distance moved by spindle (screw) = 2.5 mm
No. of complete rotations given = 5

(1) Pitch = `"Distance moved by screw on sleeve"/"No. of complete rotations"`

= `2.5/5`

= 0.5 mm

= 0.05 cm

(2) Least count = `"Pitch"/"No. of circular scale divisions"`

= `0.05/100` cm

= 0.0005 cm

The final result of the calculation in an experiment is 125,347,200. Express the number in term of significant place when accuracy is between 1 and 1000


(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.


Define the term pitch.


A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline. If the micrometer has 10 divisions to a centimetre on the main scale and 100 divisions on a circular scale, calculate

  1. Pitch of screw
  2. Least count of screw
  3. Observed diameter
  4. Corrected diameter.
