Solution
Pitch of the screw= 0.5 mm
No. of divisions on circular scale = 50
`"Least count"="pitch of the screw"/"no. of divisions on the circular scale"`
so, L.C. = `0.5/50=0.01` mm

What do you mean by zero error of a screw gauge? How is it accounted for?
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 thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two revolutions.
(i) What is the pitch of the screw gauge?
(ii) What is the least count of the screw gauge?
Define metre in terms of the wavelength of light.
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.
