The circular scale of a screw gauge has 50 divisions and pitch of \(0.5 \mathrm{~mm}\). Find the diameter of sphere. Main scale reading is 2 .

  1. A \(1.2\)
  2. B \(1.25\)
  3. C \(2.20\)
  4. D \(2.25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Least count \(\mathrm{LC}=\frac{\text { Pitch }}{\text { Number of divisions on circular scale }}\) \(=\frac{0.1}{50}=0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)
Now, diameter of ball \(=(2 \times 0.5 \mathrm{~mm})~+\) \((25-5)(0.01)=1.2 \mathrm{~mm}\)
