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 $mm$)

  • A
    $2.92$
  • B
    $2.54$
  • C
    $2.98$
  • D

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(a)$ The 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 $2.5\,mm$.
$(d)$ The $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is on the pitch line.

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

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 $, mm$)

$A$ screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire:
Main scale reading: $0 \, mm$
Circular scale reading: $52$ divisions
Given that $1 \, mm$ on the main scale corresponds to $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is ...... $cm$.

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:
