In five complete rotations, the distance moved by screw on a linear scale is 0.5 cm. There are 100 divisions on circular scale. While measuring the thickness of a metal plate by the screw gauge, there are five divisions on the main scale and 35 divisions coincide with the reference line. Calculate the thickness of metal plate,

a
5.35 cm
b
0.535 cm
c
0.6 cm
d
0.7 cm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Least count = Pitch  Number of divisions on circular scale =0.55100=0.1100 cm=0.001 cmThickness = 5×0.1+35×0.001=0.535 cm

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
