The circular scale of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. Its spindle moves by 2 mm on the sleeve, when given four complete rotations calculate
- pitch
- least count

उत्तर
Number of circular scale divisions (C.S.D.) = 50
Distance moved by screw (spindle) on sleeve = 2 mm
Number of complete rotations given = 4
(1) Pitch = `"Distance moved by screw on sleeve"/"No. of complete rotations"`
= `(2 "mm")/4`
= 0.5 mm
(2) Pitch = 0.05 cm
Least count = `"Pitch"/"No. of circular scale divisions"`
= `0.05/50`
= 0.001 cm

What do you mean by zero error of a screw gauge? How is it accounted for?
A boy uses a vernier callipers to measure the thickness of his pencil. He measures it to be 1.4 mm. If the zero error of vernier callipers is +0.02 cm, what is the correct thickness of the pencil?
In the vernier callipers, there are 10 divisions on the vernier scale and 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 10 parts. While measuring the length, the zero of the vernier lies just ahead of the 1.8 cm mark and the 4th division of vernier coincides with a main scale division.
(a) Find the length.
(b) If zero error of vernier callipers is -0.02 cm,
What is the correct length ?
The main scale of vernier callipers has 10 divisions in a centimetre and 10 vernier scale divisions coincide with 9 main scale divisions. Calculate
- pitch
- L.C. of vernier callipers.
A micrometre screw gauge has a positive zero error of 7 divisions, such that its main scale is marked in 1/2 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. The spindle of the screw advances by 1 division complete rotation.
If this screw gauge reading is 9 divisions on the main scale and 67 divisions on the circular scale for the diameter of a thin wire, calculate
- Pitch
- L.C.
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter
