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 $.............10^{-2}\,cm$

Diameter of a steel ball is measured using a Vernier callipers which has divisions of $0. 1\,cm$ on its main scale $(MS)$ and $10$ divisions of its vernier scale $(VS)$ match $9$ divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as
S.No. | $MS\;(cm)$ | $VS$ divisions |
$(1)$ | $0.5$ | $8$ |
$(2)$ | $0.5$ | $4$ |
$(3)$ | $0.5$ | $6$ |
If the zero error is $- 0.03\,cm,$ then mean corrected diameter is ........... $cm$
When the gap is closed without placing any object in the screw gauge whose least count is $0.005\ mm$, the $5^{th}$ division on its circular scale with the reference line on main scale, and when a small sphere is placed reading on main scale advances by $4$ divisions, whereas circular scale reading advances by five times to the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are $200$ divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is .......... $mm$
A screw gauge has $50$ divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is $4$ units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of $0.5\, mm$ is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved, and the least count of the screw gauge, are respectively
In an experiment the angles are required to be measured using an instrument, $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with the $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half- a degree $(= 0.5^o )$, then the least count of the instrument is
