$A$ screw gauge has a pitch of $1.5\; mm$ and there is no zero error. The linear scale has markings at $MSD = 1\; mm$ and there are $100$ equal divisions on the circular scale. When the diameter of a sphere is measured with this instrument,the $2\; mm$ mark is visible on the linear scale,but the $3\; mm$ mark is not visible. The $76^{th}$ division of the circular scale is in line with the linear scale. What is the diameter of the sphere in $mm$?

  • A
    $2.64$
  • B
    $3.14$
  • C
    $1.14$
  • D
    $2.76$

$A$ student measured the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge with the least count $0.001\, cm$ and listed the measurements. The measured value should be recorded as (in $, cm$)

There are two Vernier calipers,both of which have $1 \ cm$ divided into $10$ equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers $(C_1)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $9$ main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper $(C_2)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $11$ main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in $cm$) by calipers $C_1$ and $C_2$,respectively,are

The circular divisions of a screw gauge are $50$. It moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one rotation. When the diameter of a wire is measured,the main scale reading is $3.5 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $32$. If the zero error (positive) in the screw gauge is $0.06 \ mm$,then the diameter of the wire is:

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(A)$ Screw moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(B)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(C)$ Main scale reading is $2.5 \ mm$.
$(D)$ $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is in the reference line.
$(E)$ Instrument has $0.03 \ mm$ negative zero error.
Then the diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)
