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 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.
