Using a screw gauge with a pitch of $0.1 \ cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale,the thickness of an object is measured. How should the measurement be correctly recorded (in $cm$)?

  • A
    $2.123$
  • B
    $2.125$
  • C
    $2.121$
  • D
    $2.124$

If the screw on a screw gauge is given six rotations,it moves by $3\; mm$ on the main scale. If there are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,the least count of the screw gauge is:

$A$ 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: $1 \, M.S.D. = 100 \, C.S.D. = 1 \, mm$.

In a vernier calliper,when both jaws touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale shifts towards the left and its $4^{\text{th}}$ division coincides exactly with a certain division on the main scale. If $50$ vernier scale divisions $(VSD)$ are equal to $49$ main scale divisions $(MSD)$ and the zero error in the instrument is $0.04 \text{ mm}$,then how many main scale divisions are there in $1 \text{ cm}$?

$A$ specially designed Vernier calliper has the main scale least count of $1 \,mm$. On the Vernier scale,there are $10$ equal divisions and they match with $11$ main scale divisions. Then,the least count of the Vernier calliper is ........... $mm$.
