In a screw gauge when the circular scale is given five complete rotations it moves linearly by 2.5 mm. If the circular scale has 100 divisions, the least count of screw gauge is ______ mm.

In a Vernier calipers, when both jaws touch each other, zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the right of zero of the main scale and $7^{th}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale reading. If the value of 1 main scale division is 1 mm and there are 10 Vernier scale divisions, then the Vernier caliper has

For the determination of refractive index of glass slab, a travelling microscope is used whose main scale contains 300 equal divisions equals to 15 cm. The vernier scale attached to the microscope has 25 divisions equals to 24 divisions of main scale. The least count (LC) of the travelling microscope is (in cm) :

In a screw gauge, the zero of the circular scale lies 3 divisions above the horizontal pitch line when their metallic studs are brought in contact. Using this instrument thickness of a sheet is measured. If pitch scale reading is 1 mm and the circular scale reading is 51 then the correct thickness of the sheet is ______ mm. [Assume least count is 0.01 mm]

A screw gauge with a pitch of 0.5 mm and a circular scale with 50 divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the 45^th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25^th division coincides with the main scale line?

A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is 4 units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of 0.5mm is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved and the least count of the screw gauge, are respectively :

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1 mm on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is 50. Further, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of − 0.03 mm while measuring the diameter of a thin wire, a student notes the main scale reading of 3 mm and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35. The diameter of the wire is

A screw gauge gives the following reading when used to measure the diameter of a wire. Main scale reading : 0 mm Circular scale reading : 52 divisions Given that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale. The diameter of wire from the above date is:

In a screw gauge, $5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25$ $cm.$ There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error, the thickness of the wire is :
