The vernier constant of Vernier callipers is $0.1 \,mm$ and it has zero error of $(-0.05) \,cm$. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the main scale reading is $1.7 \,cm$ and the coinciding vernier division is $5$. The corrected diameter will be ........... $\times 10^{-2} \,cm$.

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 $, cm$)

One main scale division of a vernier caliper is equal to $m$ units. If $n^{\text{th}}$ division of the main scale coincides with $(n+1)^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale,the least count of the vernier caliper is:

The vernier scale of a travelling microscope has $50$ divisions which coincide with $49$ main scale divisions. If each main scale division is $0.5 \ mm$,calculate the minimum inaccuracy in the measurement of distance. (in $mm$)

Area of the cross-section of a wire is measured using a screw gauge. The pitch of the main scale is $0.5 \text{ mm}$. The circular scale has $100$ divisions and for one full rotation of the circular scale, the main scale shifts by two divisions. The measured readings are listed below.

Measurement condition	Main scale reading	Circular scale reading
Two arms of gauge touching each other without wire	$0$ division	$4$ division
Attempt-$1$: With wire	$4$ division	$20$ division
Attempt-$2$: With wire	$4$ division	$16$ division
