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 least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1\, mm$. Its vernier scale is divided into $10$ divisions and coincide with $9$ divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other, the $7$ th division of vernier scale coincides with a division of main scale and the zero of vernier scale is lying right side of the zero of main scale. When this vernier is used to measure length of a cylinder the zero of the vernier scale between $3.1\, cm$ and $3.2\, cm$ and $4^{th}$ $VSD$ coincides with a main scale division.The length of the cylinder is $.....cm$
($VSD$ is vernier scale division)
