In a vernier calliper,when both jaws touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale shifts towards the left and its $4^{\text{th}}$ division coincides exactly with a certain division on the main scale. If $50$ vernier scale divisions $(VSD)$ are equal to $49$ main scale divisions $(MSD)$ and the zero error in the instrument is $0.04 \text{ mm}$,then how many main scale divisions are there in $1 \text{ cm}$?

  • A
    $40$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $10$

There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $1 \,mm$. 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 that $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $60$ divisions on the circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is: (in $\,mm$)

In a vernier callipers,$10$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $9$ divisions of main scale,the least count of which is $0.1\,cm$. If in the measurement of inner diameter of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies between $1.3\,cm$ and $1.4\,cm$ of the main scale and the $2^{nd}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division,then the diameter will be .......... $cm$.

When the gap is closed without placing any object in a screw gauge whose least count is $0.005 \ mm$,the $5^{th}$ division on its circular scale coincides with the reference line on the main scale. When a small sphere is placed,the reading on the main scale advances by $4$ divisions,whereas the circular scale reading advances by five times the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are $200$ divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is .......... $mm$.

While measuring the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge, the following readings were noted. The main scale reading is $1 \,mm$ and the circular scale reading is equal to $42$ divisions. The pitch of the screw gauge is $1 \,mm$ and it has $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire is $\frac{x}{50} \,mm$. The value of $x$ is:
