The diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. Figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed,and figure $(ii)$ shows 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 the circular scale.

The circular divisions of a screw gauge are $50$. It moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one rotation. When the diameter of a wire is measured,the main scale reading is $3.5 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $32$. If the zero error (positive) in the screw gauge is $0.06 \ mm$,then the diameter of the wire is:

Which of the following is the most precise device for measuring length:
$A)$ a vernier callipers with $20$ divisions on the sliding scale
$B)$ a screw gauge of pitch $1 \; mm$ and $100$ divisions on the circular scale
$C)$ an optical instrument that can measure length to within a wavelength of light?

If $50$ Vernier divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions of a travelling microscope and one smallest reading of main scale is $0.5 \,mm$, the Vernier constant of travelling microscope is:

The length of a cylinder measured by a Vernier caliper is given by the following observations: $3.29 \, cm, 3.28 \, cm, 3.29 \, cm, 3.31 \, cm, 3.28 \, cm, 3.27 \, cm, 3.29 \, cm, 3.30 \, cm$. The most accurate length of the cylinder is ........ $cm$.
