The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular head. While measuring the diameter of a wire, the main scale reads 3 mm and the 55th division is in line with the base line. Find the diameter of the wire. Assume that the screw gauge is free from zero error. |

Answer» Solution :Given, pitch = 1 mm, NUMBER of divisions on circular head = 100, main scale reading = 3 mm, number of division of circular head in line with base line is 55, so, p = 55. LEAST count `=("Pitch")/("Number of divisions on circular head")` `= (1 mm)/(100) = 0.01 mm` Circular scale reading `= p XX L.C. = 55 xx 0.01 ` mm Diameter of the WIRE = main scale reading + circular scale reading `= 3 mm + (55 xx 0.01 mm) ` `= 3 mm + 0.55 mm` =3.55 mm or 0.355 cm |
