    $A$ screw gauge having $100$ divisions in the circular scale and pitch as $1\;mm$.
  • C
    $A$ screw gauge having $50$ divisions in the circular scale and pitch as $1\;mm$.

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its $10$ Vernier Scale Divisions $(V.S.D.)$ are equal to its $9$ Main Scale Divisions $(M.S.D.)$. The least division on the $M.S.$ is $0.1 \ cm$ and the zero of $V.S.$ is at $x=0.1 \ cm$ when the jaws of the Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is $M=5 \ cm$ and the number of the coinciding vernier division is $8$,the measured diameter after zero error correction is: (in $cm$)

In a vernier callipers,$(N+1)$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $N$ divisions of main scale. If $1 \text{ MSD}$ represents $0.1 \text{ mm}$,the vernier constant (in $\text{cm}$) is:

The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads $1\,mm$ and $10$ divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the $9$ divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the $zero$ of the Vernier lies to the right of $zero$ of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws,the $zero$ of the Vernier scale lies in between $4.1\,cm$ and $4.2\,cm$ and $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be $.............10^{-2}\,cm$

In a Vernier Calipers,$10$ divisions of the Vernier scale are equal to $9$ divisions of the main scale. When both jaws of the Vernier calipers touch each other,the zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the left of the zero of the main scale,and the $4^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. One main scale division is equal to $1\,mm$. While measuring the diameter of a spherical body,the body is held between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $30$ and $31$ divisions of the main scale,and the $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the spherical body is $.......\,cm$.

$A$ Vernier calipers has $1 \,mm$ marks on the main scale. It has $20$ equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with $16$ main scale divisions. For this Vernier calipers, the least count is (in $\,mm$)
