Solution
1 MSD = 1 mm
10 VSD = 9 mm
1 VSD =`9/10`mm
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD
=`1/10`MSD
=`1/10` x 1 mm = 0.1 mm
= 0.01 cm

State the purpose of ratchet in a screw gauge.
The final result of the calculation in an experiment is 125,347,200. Express the number in term of significant place when accuracy is between 1 and 10
The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.0025 cm and it has an error of + 0.0125 cm. While measuring the length of a cylinder, the reading on the main scale is 7.55 cm, and the 12th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the corrected length.
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.
