Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1mm 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 -0.03mm While measuring the diameter of a thin wire, a student notes the main scale reading of 3mm and. the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35 . The diameter of the wire is

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 barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet if the main scale reading is 0.5 mm and the 25th  division coincides with the main scale line?

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of the least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level. If screw gauge has a zero error of -0.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is
