प्रश्न

What is meant by the pitch of a screw gauge? The pitch of a screw is 1 mm.
Find the reading of the instrument shown in the following figure.

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

When one complete rotation is given to the screw hand, it moves forward or backward by a distance is called the pitch of the screw. It is a distance between two consecutive threads of the screw.

`"Pitch of the screw" = "distance travelled by screw in n rotations"/"n rotations"`

Pitch of the screw = 1 mm

No. of divisions on circular scale = 100

`"Least count" = "pitch"/"no. of divisions"` = 0.01 mm

Main scale reading = 3 mm

Circular scale division coinciding with the main scale = 42

Circular scale reading = 0.01 x 42 = 0.42

Final reading = 3 + 0.42 = 3.42 mm
