In an experiment,the angles are required to be measured using an instrument where $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half a degree $(= 0.5^\circ)$,then the least count of the instrument is:

In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the circular scale give a $1.5 \, mm$ reading on the linear scale. The circular scale has $50$ divisions. The least count of the screw gauge is: (in $, mm$)

The least count of a vernier caliper is $\frac{1}{20N} \text{ cm}$. The value of one division on the main scale is $1 \text{ mm}$. Then the number of divisions of the main scale that coincide with $N$ divisions of the vernier scale is:

In a screw gauge,the fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed. There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by $0.5 \, mm$ on a complete rotation. For a particular observation,the reading on the main scale is $5 \, mm$ and the $20^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Calculate the true reading in $mm$.

Thickness of a pencil measured by a screw gauge (least count $0.001 \ cm$) comes out to be $0.802 \ cm$. The percentage error in the measurement is (in $\%$)

The vernier scale used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.2\, mm$. If while taking a measurement it was noted that the '$0$' on the vernier scale lies between $8.5\, cm$ and $8.6\, cm$ and the vernier coincidence is $6$,then the correct value of measurement is ............. $cm$. (Least count $= 0.01\, cm$)
