A screw gauge has some zero error but its value is unknown. We have two identical rods. When the first rod is inserted in the screw, the state of the instrument is shown by diagram $(I).$ When both the rods are inserted together in series then the state is shown by the diagram $(II).$ What is the zero error of the instrument ? .......... $mm$

A screwgauage has pitch $1.5\;  mm$ and there is no zero error. Linear scale has marking at $MSD = 1\; mm$  and there are $100$ equal division of circular scale. When diameter of a sphere is measured with instrument, main scale is having $2\; mm$ mark visible on linear scale, but $3\; mm$ mark is not visible, $76^{th}$ division of circuler scale is in line with linear scale. .......... $mm$ is the diameter of sphere.

Diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed, figure $(ii)$ the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on circular scale

A screw gauge has $50$ divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is $4$ units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of $0.5\, mm$ is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved, and the least count of the screw gauge, are respectively

A student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00\; cm$ and $7.05 \;cm$ mark of the main scale and $23^{rd}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be
