Diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed, figure $(ii)$ the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on circular scale

A
$5 .29$
B
$5 .26$
C
$5 .32$
D
$5 .28$
Solution
Zero error is $3$ division
$\mathrm{LC}=\frac{0.5}{50}=0.01 \mathrm{mm}$
zero error $=0.03 \mathrm{mm}$
Reading $=5.0+29 \times 0.01$
$d=5.29-0.03=5.26 \mathrm{mm}$
