A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale and the pitch of the screw is 0.5 mm. What us its least count?
टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Pitch of the screw= 0.5 mm

No. of divisions on circular scale = 50

`"Least count"="pitch of the screw"/"no. of divisions on the circular scale"`

so, L.C. = `0.5/50=0.01` mm
