Important Questions on Screw Gauge

EASY
IMPORTANT

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

IMPORTANT

10 rotations of the cap of a screw gauge is equivalent to 5 mm. The cap has 100 divisions. A reading taken for the diameter of wire with the screw gauge show 4 complete rotations and 35 divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire, is n × 10-4 m. Value of n, is

IMPORTANT

A screw gauge has main scale divisions of 1 mm each and its circular scale has 100 divisions while measuring a diameter of a wire, cap end is after 21st marking of main scale and 52nd division of circular scale coincides with the reference line, what is the measured diameter of the wire

HARD
IMPORTANT

The distance moved by the screw of a screw gauge is 2 mm in four rotations and there are 50 divisions on its cap. When nothing is put between its jaws, 20th division of circular scale coincides with reference line, and zero of linear scale is hidden from circular scale when two jaws touch each other or zero of circular scale is lying above the reference line. When plate is placed between the jaws, main scale reads 2 divisions and circular scale reads 20 divisions. Thickness of plate is
