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?
State the correction if the positive error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 8 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 3 divisions and the 24th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale are 20 to a centimetre and circular scale has 50 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter.
- least count
- corrected diameter.
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.
