The internal and external diameters of a hollow cylinder measured with vernier calipers are $(5.73 \pm 0.01) \text{ cm}$ and $(6.01 \pm 0.01) \text{ cm}$ respectively. Then the thickness of the cylinder wall is

$A$ 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

In an experiment with Vernier callipers of least count $0.1\,mm$,when two jaws are joined together,the zero of the Vernier scale lies to the right of the zero of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.2\,cm$ and $3.3\,cm$ marks,and the $4^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob is measured as $.......\,cm$.

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. $9$ divisions of the main scale,in the vernier callipers,are equal to $10$ divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is $1\, {mm}$. The main scale reading is $10\, {mm}$ and $8^{\text{th}}$ division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of $0.04\, {cm}$,then the radius of the bob is $...... \,\times 10^{-2} \,{cm}$.
