प्रश्न

A screw thread has 20 threads in 1 cm and its circular scale has 50 divisions. Calculate its pitch and least count.
टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Number of threads = 20
Distance covered in 20 threads = 10 mm
Pitch of the screw gauge = `10/20` = 0.5 mm
No of divisions on circular scale = 50
`"Least count" = "pitch"/"no. of divisions"`

= 0.01 mm

Figure shows the position of vernier scale while measuring the external length of a wooden cylinder.

  1. What is the length recorded by the main scale?
  2. Which reading of vernier scale coincides with the main scale?
  3. Calculate the length.

A micrometre screw gauge has a positive zero error of 7 divisions, such that its main scale is marked in 1/2 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. The spindle of the screw advances by 1 division complete rotation.
If this screw gauge reading is 9 divisions on the main scale and 67 divisions on the circular scale for the diameter of a thin wire, calculate

  1. Pitch
  2. L.C.
  3. Observed diameter
  4. Corrected diameter

The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions for one rotation. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two rotations.

  1. What is the pitch of the screw?
  2. What is the least count of screw gauge?
  3. When the screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of wire the reading on the sleeve is found to be 0.5 mm and reading on thimble is found, 27 divisions. What is the diameter of the wire in centimetres?

Which of the following measures a small length to a high accuracy: metre scale, vernier calipers, screw gauge?

'Each measuring instrument has a limit of accuracy'. Comment on the statement.

Can we measure the thickness of a piece of paper by vernier calipers?

In the case of a vernier caliper, 1 MSD = 1 mm. If 10 VSD coincide with 9 MSD; what is its least count?

If the 4th division of the circular scale coincides with the zero of the main scale of a screw gauge of least count 0.01 mm, what is it's zero error?
