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.

  • A
    $5.29$
  • B
    $5.26$
  • C
    $5.32$
  • D
    $5.28$

The least count of a screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$. If the pitch is increased by $75\%$ and the number of divisions on the circular scale is reduced by $50\%$,the new least count will be . . . . . . $\times 10^{-3} \ mm$.

If in a Vernier callipers $10 \,VSD$ coincides with $8 \,MSD$,then the least count of the Vernier calliper is ............ $m$ [given $1 \,MSD = 1 \,mm$].

$A$ 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 the zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00 \; cm$ and $7.05 \; cm$ mark of the main scale and the $23^{rd}$ 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 (in $; cm$)

The figure below shows a particular position of the Vernier calipers on a centimetre scale. In this position,the value of $x$ shown in the figure is .......... $cm$ (figure is not to scale).
