In a vernier callipers, 19 main scale divisions coincide with 20 vernier scale divisions. If the main scale has 20 divisions in a centimetre, calculate

  1. pitch
  2. L.C. of vernier callipers.
संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

Main scale divisions of vernier callipers in one centimetre = 20 Unit

Pitch = `"Unit of main scale"/"Number of divisions in the unit"`

= `1/20` cm

= 0.05 cm

Least count = `"Pitch"/"No. of vernier scale divisions"`

= `0.05/20`

= 0.0025 cm

What is meant by zero error of vernier callipers ? How is it determined? Draw neat diagrams to explain it. How is it taken in account to get the correct measurement?


When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.

(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?

(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?


Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.  

Find:
(i) Pitch of the screw gauge,
(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.


A screw has a pitch equal to 0.5 mm. What should be the number of divisions on its head so as to read correctly up to 0.001 mm with its help?


Define the term pitch.


The circular scale of a screw gauge has 100 divisions. Its spindle moves forward by 2.5 mm when given five complete turns. Calculate

  1. pitch
  2. least count of the screw gauge

How do you account for negative zero error, for calculating the correct diameter of wires?


Name the measuring employed to measure the diameter of a needle.


What is the least count in the case of the following instrument?

Screw gauge


We can find the diameter of a wire by wrapping it around a pencil and measuring the length of turns with the help of a meter scale. Is this approach more accurate than determining the diameter of the wire with the help of a screw gauge?
