Question
The circular scale of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. Its spindle moves by 2 mm on the sleeve, when given four complete rotations calculate
- pitch
- least count

Solution
Number of circular scale divisions (C.S.D.) = 50
Distance moved by screw (spindle) on sleeve = 2 mm
Number of complete rotations given = 4
(1) Pitch = `"Distance moved by screw on sleeve"/"No. of complete rotations"`
= `(2 "mm")/4`
= 0.5 mm
(2) Pitch = 0.05 cm
Least count = `"Pitch"/"No. of circular scale divisions"`
= `0.05/50`
= 0.001 cm

Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.
Find:

(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.
A screw has a pitch equal to 0.5 mm. What should be the number of divisions on its head so as to read correctly up to 0.001 mm with its help?
(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
When does a vernier callipers has the negative error?
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.
