The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and there are 100 divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads +2 divisions when nothing is put in between its jaws. In measuring the diameter of a wire, there are 8 divisions on the main scale and 83rd divisions coincide with the reference line. Then the diameter of the wire is:

Consider the MB shown in the diagram, let the resistance X have temperature coefficient α1 and the resistance from the RB have the temperature coefficient α2. Let the reading of the meter scale be 10 cm from the LHS. If the temperature of the two resistance increase by small temperature ΔT then what is the shift in the position of the null point? Neglect all the other changes in the bridge due to temperature rise.

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.

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?
