A screw has a pitch equal to 0.5 mm. What should be the number of divisions on its head so as to read correctly up to 0.001 mm with its help?

उत्तर
Pitch of the screw gauge = 0.5 mm
L.C. of the screw gauge = 0.001 mm
No. of divisions on circular scale = Pitch / L.C.
= 0.5 / 0.001
= 500

Define the term 'Vernier constant'.
A pendulum completes 2 oscillations in 5 s. What is its time period? If g = 9.8 m s-2, find its length.
(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.
The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.01 cm and it has an error of + 0.07 cm. While measuring the radius of a sphere, the main scale reading is 2.90 cm and the 5th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the correct radius.
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
- Pitch of screw
- Least count of screw
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter.
