प्रश्न
The circular scale of a screw gauge has 100 divisions. Its spindle moves forward by 2.5 mm when given five complete turns. Calculate
- pitch
- least count of the screw gauge

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

(a) A vernier scale has 10 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 1.0 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of zero of the vernier scale on the main scale is 56 and the 8th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the length in centimetres.
(b) If the above instrument has a negative error of 0.07 cm, calculate the corrected length.
