The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1\, mm$. Its vernier scale is divided into $10$ divisions and coincides with $9$ divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other,the $7^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a division of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right side of the zero of the main scale. When this vernier is used to measure the length of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale is between $3.1\, cm$ and $3.2\, cm$ and the $4^{th}$ $VSD$ coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $.....\, cm$. ($VSD$ is vernier scale division)

  • A
    $3.21$
  • B
    $2.99$
  • C
    $3.2$
  • D
    $3.07$

$A$ screw gauge has some zero error but its value is unknown. We have two identical rods. When the first rod is inserted in the screw gauge,the state of the instrument is shown by diagram $(I)$. When both the rods are inserted together in series,the state is shown by diagram $(II)$. What is the zero error of the instrument in $mm$? Given: $1 \, M.S.D. = 100 \, C.S.D. = 1 \, mm$.

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 $= 0.01\, cm$)

In a screw gauge, the zero of the main scale reference line coincides with the fifth division of the circular scale when two studs are in contact. There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the pitch of the screw gauge is $0.1 \text{ mm}$. When the diameter of a sphere is measured, the reading of the main scale is $5 \text{ mm}$ and the $50^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the sphere is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$.

$A$ 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 $, cm$)

The least count of a screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$. If the pitch is increased by $75\%$ and the number of divisions on the circular scale is reduced by $50\%$,the new least count will be . . . . . . $\times 10^{-3} \ mm$.
