Question
Solution
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

(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
