Question
State the formula for calculating length if:
The reading of the main scale is known and the number of vernier scale divisions coinciding with the main scale is known.

Solution
If we know the number of vernier scale divisions (V.S.D.) coinciding with the main scale and a number of main scale divisions (M.S.D.) on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale then Length recorded = Main scale reading + L.C. × V.S.D.

A micrometre screw gauge has a positive zero error of 7 divisions, such that its main scale is marked in 1/2 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. The spindle of the screw advances by 1 division complete rotation.
If this screw gauge reading is 9 divisions on the main scale and 67 divisions on the circular scale for the diameter of a thin wire, calculate
- Pitch
- L.C.
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter
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.
