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 45th division coincides with the main scale line and that the zero of the main scale is just hidden. If the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25th division coincides with the main scale line, then the thickness of the sheet is x mm. what is the value of 100x?

In a screw gauge, there are 100 divisions in circular scale and each main scale division is of 1 mm. With no gap between the jaws, 98th divisions coincides with the main scale and zero of main scale is not visible. While measuring the diameter of a ball, the circular scale is between 3 mm mark and 4 mm mark. 76th division of circular scale coincides with the reference line. Select the correct alternative

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a Vernier calipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between 5.10 cm and 5.15 cm of the main scale. The Vernier scale has 50 Divisions which coincide with 49 Main scale divisions. The 24th Division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is x cm. Find the value of 1000x.

The main scale of a vernier calliper reads in mm and its vernier scale is divided into 8 divisions, which coincides with 7 divisions of the main scale. It was also observed that, when the two jaws are brought in contact, the zero of the vernier scale coincided with the zero of the main scale. The edge length of a cube is measured using this vernier calliper. The main scale reads 12 mm and the 2nd division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale. The edge length of the cube is x mm. Find the value of 4x.
