Diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed, figure $(ii)$ 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 circular scale
$5 .29$
$5 .26$
$5 .32$
$5 .28$
A travelling microscope is used to determine the refractive index of a glass slab. If $40$ divisions are there in $1 \; cm$ on main scale and $50$ Vernier scale divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions, then least count of the travelling microscope is $\dots \; \times 10^{-6} \; m$
A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading : $58.5$ degree
Vernier scale reading : $09$ divisions
Given that $1$ division on main scale corresponds to $0 .5$ degree. Total divisions on the Vernier scale is $30$ and match with $29$ divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data ....... $degree$
There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $1 \mathrm{~mm}$. With no measuring quantity in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies $5$ divisions below the reference line. The diameter of a wire is then measured using this screw gauge. It is found the $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $60$ divisions on circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is :
The pitch and the number of divisions, on the circular scale, for a given screw gauge are $0.5\,mm$ and $100$ respectively. When the screw gauge is fully tightened without any object, the zero of its circular scale lies $3$ divisions below the mean line. The readings of the main scale and the circular scale for a thin sheet, are $5.5\,mm$ and $48$ respectively, the thickness of this sheet is
