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

State one use of a screw gauge.


(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.


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


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

  1. pitch
  2. observed diameter.
  3. least count
  4. corrected diameter.

What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?

Baseline


What is the zero error of a screw gauge?


We can find the diameter of a wire by wrapping it around a pencil and measuring the length of turns with the help of a meter scale. Is this approach more accurate than determining the diameter of the wire with the help of a screw gauge?

What is meant by zero error of a vernier caliper? How is it determined? Draw neat diagrams to explain it. How is it taken into account to get the correct measurement?

The precision of vernier calipers is ______ mm.


A Vernier calliper reads a main scale reading of 2.3 cm and the 5th division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count is 0.01 cm, what is the actual reading?
