A student measures the thickness of a human hair by looking at it through a microscope of magnification $100$. He makes $20$ observations and finds that the average width of the hair in the field of view of the microscope is $3.5 \;mm$. What is the estimate on the thickness(in $mm$) of hair ?

The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge, whose pitch is $0.5 \ mm$ and there are $50$ divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is $2.5 \ mm$ and that on the circular scale is $20$ divisions. If the measured mass of the ball has a relative error of $2 \%$, the relative percentage error in the density 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 $.............10^{-2}\,cm$
