To measure the diameter of a wire, a screw gauge is used. In a complete rotation, spindle of the screw gauge advances by 12 mm and its circular scale has 50 deviations. The main scale is graduated to 12 mm. If the wire is put between the jaws, 4 main scale divisions are clearly visible and 10 deviations of circular scale co-inside with the reference line. The resistance of the wire is measured to be (10 Ω±1%). Length of the wire is measured to be 10 cm using a scale of least count 1 mm. Maximum permissible error in resistivity measurement is:

The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge, whose pitch is 0.5 mm and there are 50 divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is 2.5 mm and that on the circular scale is 20 divisions. If the measured mass of the ball has a relative error of 2%, the relative percentage error in the density is

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using 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 equivalent to 2.45 cm. The 24th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is

Consider a vernier calipers in which each 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal to divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions on its circular scale. In the vernier calipers 5 divisions on the vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then,

There are two Vernier calipers both of which have 1 cm divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers (C1) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 9 main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper (C2) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 11 main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in cm) by calipers C1 and C2, respectively, are

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:
