Question
The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. In measurement of the diameter of a wire, the main scale reads 2 mm and 45th mark on the circular scale coincides with the base line. Find
(i) The least count and
(ii) The diameter of the wire.

Solution
Pitch of the screw gauge = 1mm
No. of divisions on the circular scale = 100
(i) L.C. = Pitch/No. of divisions on the circular head
= (1/100) mm
= 0.01 mm or 0.001 cm
(ii) Main scale reading = 2mm = 0.2 cm
No. of division of circular head in line with the base line (p) = 45
Circular scale reading = (p) × L.C.
= 45 x 0.001 cm
= 0.045 cm
Total reading = M.s.r. + circular scale reading
= (0.2 + 0.045) cm
= 0.245 cm
