In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error,the thickness of the wire is (in $, cm$)

  • A
    $0.0430$
  • B
    $0.3150$
  • C
    $0.4300$
  • D
    $0.2150$

The main scale division of a vernier caliper is $1 \ mm$. The vernier scale divisions are in an arithmetic progression $(A.P.)$; the $1^{st}$ division is $0.95 \ mm$, the $2^{nd}$ division is $0.90 \ mm$, and so on. When an object is placed between the jaws of the vernier caliper, the zero of the vernier scale lies between $3.1 \ cm$ and $3.2 \ cm$, and the $4^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The reading of the vernier caliper is .......... $cm$.

Length of $9 \ MSD$ of a vernier caliper are equal to $10 \ VSD$ and $1 \ MSD = 1 \ mm$. For measuring the length of a rod,the reading on the main scale is $6.4 \ cm$ and the $8^{th}$ division on the vernier scale is in line with a marking on the main scale. If there is no zero error,find the length of the rod: (in $cm$)

The internal and external radii of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of a vernier callipers. Their values are $(4.23 \pm 0.01) \, cm$ and $(3.87 \pm 0.01) \, cm,$ respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinder is

In a Vernier calipers, when both jaws touch each other, the zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the right of the zero of the main scale and the $7^{th}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. If the value of $1$ main scale division is $1 \text{ mm}$ and there are $10$ Vernier scale divisions, then the Vernier caliper has

Student $A$ and Student $B$ used two screw gauges of equal pitch and $100$ equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is $0.322 \, \text{cm}$. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students $A$ and $B$ is .... .
Given pitch $= 0.1 \, \text{cm}$.
