Describe the procedure to measure the diameter of a wire with the help of a screw gauge.
Is it possible to increase the degree of accuracy by mathematical manipulations? Support your answer by an example.
State the correction if the negative error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
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.
State the formula for calculating the pitch of screw.
