Solution
Number of threads = 20
Distance covered in 20 threads = 10 mm
Pitch of the screw gauge = `10/20` = 0.5 mm
No of divisions on circular scale = 50
`"Least count" = "pitch"/"no. of divisions"`
= 0.01 mm

While measuring the length of a rod with a vernier callipers, below shows the position of its scales. What is the length of the rod?
How can the least count of a screw gauge be decreased?
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 7 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 2 divisions and 79th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale is 10 to a centimetre and circular scale has 100 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter
- least count
- corrected diameter.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?
Thimble
A measuring cylinder is filled with water up to a level of 30 ml. A solid body is immersed in it so that the level of water rises to 37 ml. Now the solid body is tied with a cork and then immersed in water so that the water level rises to 40 ml. Find the volume of the solid body and the cork.
