In a screw gauge,there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the main scale moves by $0.5\,mm$ on a complete rotation of the circular scale. The zero of the circular scale lies $6$ divisions below the line of graduation when two studs are brought in contact with each other. When a wire is placed between the studs,$4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while the $46^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$.

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(A)$ Screw moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(B)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(C)$ Main scale reading is $2.5 \ mm$.
$(D)$ $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is in the reference line.
$(E)$ Instrument has $0.03 \ mm$ negative zero error.
Then the diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)

$A$ spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading : $58.5^{\circ}$
Vernier scale reading : $09$ divisions
Given that $1$ division on the main scale corresponds to $0.5^{\circ}$. The total number of divisions on the Vernier scale is $30$,which matches $29$ divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data is ....... $degree$. (in $^{\circ}$)

The length of a cylinder is measured with the help of vernier callipers whose nine divisions of the main scale are equal to ten divisions of the vernier scale. The smallest division on the main scale is $0.5 \ mm$. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale has just crossed the $78^{th}$ division of the main scale,and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $..... \ mm$.

In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error,the thickness of the wire is (in $, cm$)
