Calculate the dimension of a cube from the given data of readings using a vernier calliper. In the main scale 1 cm is divided into 20 parts.
Number of divisions on the vernier scale=25; Zero error=-0.016 cm
When the cube is held between the jaws, the position of the zero of the vernier callipers is between 2.75 cm and 2.8 cm and the coinciding division of vernier callipers is 9th.

The pitch of a screw is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the head scale. When the diameter of a rod is taken, the edge of the head scale is between 0.6 cm and 0.7 cm and 57th division of the head scale coincides with the reference line. Find the diameter(in cm) of the rod.

A vernier calliper has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of vernier scale is ahead of zero of main scale and 4th division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. Find the least count and the zero error of the vernier callipers.

The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is given two revolutions. What is the least count of the screw gauge? In the measurement of the diameter of a given wire, the main scale reads 3 mm and 36 mark on circular scale coincides with the baseline. Find the diameter of the given wire.
