The pitch and the number of divisions, on the circular scale, for a given screw gauge are $0.5\,mm$ and $100$ respectively. When the screw gauge is fully tightened without any object, the zero of its circular scale lies $3$ divisions below the mean line. The readings of the main scale and the circular scale for a thin sheet, are $5.5\,mm$ and $48$ respectively, the thickness of this sheet is
A
$5.755\,mm$
B
$5.950\,mm$
C
$5.725\,mm$
D
$5.740\,mm$
(JEE MAIN-2019)
Solution
$L C=\frac{P i t c h}{\text {No.ofdivision}}$
$L C=0.5 \times 10^{-2} mm$
+ve error $=3 \times 0.5 \times 10^{-2} mm$
$=1.5 \times 10^{-2} mm =0.015 mm$
Reading $= MSR + CSR -(+\text { ve error })$
$=5.5 m m+\left(48 \times 0.5 \times 10^{-2}\right)-0.015$
$=5.5+0.24-0.015=5.725 mm$
