There are two vernier calipers both of which have divided into equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers has equal divisions that correspond to main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper has equal divisions that correspond to main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in ) by calipers and respectively, are

JEE Advanced 2011 Medium - Paragraph :
One twirls a circular ring (of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) ) near the tip of one's finger as shown in Figure 1 . In the process the finger never loses contact with the inner rim of the ring. The finger traces out the surface of a cone, shown by the dotted line. The radius of the path traced out by the point where the ring and the finger is in contact is \(r\). The finger rotates with an angular velocity \(\omega_{0}\). The rotating ring rolls without slipping on the outside of a smaller circle described by the point where the ring and the finger is in contact (Figure 2). The coefficient of friction between the ring and the finger is \(\mu\) and the acceleration due to gravity is \(g\).
