प्रश्न
When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.
(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?
(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?

उत्तर
(i) L.C. of screw gauge = 0.01 mm or 0.001 cm
Main scale reading = 1 mm or 0.1 cm
No. of division of circular head in line with the base line (p) = 27
Circular scale reading = (p) × L.C.
= 27 × 0.001 cm
= 0.027 cm
Diameter (Total reading) = M.s.r. + circular scale reading
= (0.1 + 0.027) cm
= 0.127 cm
(ii) Zero error = 0.005 cm
Correct reading = Observed reading - zero error (with sign)
= [0.127 - (+0.005)] cm
= 0.122 cm
