A screw gauge of pitch \(0.5\,mm\) is used to measure the diameter of uniform wire of length \(6.8\,cm\), the main scale reading is \(1.5\,mm\) and circular scale reading is \(7\). The calculated curved surface area of wire to appropriate significant figures is \(......cm^2\) . [Screw gauge has \(50\) divisions on the circular scale]

  1. A \(6.8\)
  2. B \(3.4\)
  3. C \(3.9\)
  4. D \(2.4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3.4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( L.C.=\frac{P}{N}=\frac{0.5\,mm}{50}=0.01\,mm\) Length of wire \(=6.8 cm\) Diameter of wire \(=1.5\,mm +7 \times L.C\) \(=1.5\, mm +7 \times .01=1.57\,mm\) Curved surface area \(=\pi Dl\) \(=3.14 \times 6.8 \times 1.57 \times 10^{-1} cm^{2}\) \(=3.352\,cm ^{2}=3.4\,cm ^{2}\)
