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

$0.90$

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 $=\frac{1.64}{2}=0.82 mm$
