hard
The pitch of the screw gauge is $1\, mm$ and there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale. When nothing is put in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies $8$ divisions below the reference line. When a wire is placed between the jaws, the first linear scale division is clearly visible while $72^{\text {nd }}$ division on circular scale coincides with the reference line. The radius of the wire is.........$mm$
A
$1.64$
B
$0.82$
C
$1.80$
D
$0.90$
(JEE MAIN-2021)
Solution
Least count $=\frac{1 mm }{100}=0.01 mm$
zero error $=+8 \times LC =+0.08 mm$
True reading (Diameter)
$=(1 mm +72 \times LC )-($ Zero error $)$
$=(1 mm +72 \times 0.01 mm )-0.08 mm$
$=1.72 mm -0.08 mm$
$=1.64 mm$
therefore, radius $=\frac{1.64}{2}=0.82 mm$
