A vernier callipers has a zero error of + 0.06 cm. Draw a neat labelled diagram to represent it.
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.
In the following figure, the pitch of the screw is 1 mm. Calculate:
(i) the least count of screw gauge and
(ii) the reading represented in the figure.

State whether the following statement is true or false by writing T/F against it.
The least count of a screw gauge can be lowered by increasing the number of divisions on its thimble.
What is meant by the pitch of a screw gauge? The pitch of a screw is 1 mm.
