What is the need for measuring length with vernier callipers?
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.
