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
