Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1 \ mm$ on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. The screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.03 \ mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3 \ mm$ and the $35^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)

  • A
    $3.38$
  • B
    $3.32$
  • C
    $3.73$
  • D
    $3.67$

The diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. Figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed,and figure $(ii)$ shows 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 the circular scale.

The vernier calliper used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.3 \ mm$. While taking measurement for the internal diameter of a vessel,it was observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $9.5 \ cm$ and $9.6 \ cm$ of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count of the vernier calliper is $0.01 \ cm$,the correct value of the diameter will be: (in $cm$)

$A$ screw gauge with a pitch of $0.5 \ mm$ and a circular scale with $50$ divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement,it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact,the $45^{th}$ division coincides with the main scale line and the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet (in $mm$) if the main scale reading is $0.5 \ mm$ and the $25^{th}$ division coincides with the main scale line?

The figure below shows a particular position of the Vernier calipers on a centimetre scale. In this position,the value of $x$ shown in the figure is .......... $cm$ (figure is not to scale).

$A$ specially designed Vernier calliper has the main scale least count of $1 \,mm$. On the Vernier scale,there are $10$ equal divisions and they match with $11$ main scale divisions. Then,the least count of the Vernier calliper is ........... $mm$.
