In a screw gauge, the zero of the circular scale lies 3 divisions above the horizontal pitch line when their metallic studs are brought in contact. Using this instrument thickness of a sheet is measured. If pitch scale reading is 1 mm and the circular scale reading is 51 then the correct thickness of the sheet is ___________ mm.
[Assume least count is 0.01 mm ]
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 1.54
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Zero error \( e=-3\times LC=-0.03 \) mm
Reading taken =1mm + 51(0.01mm)
= 1.51 mm
So, Correct reading \( = 1.51 - (-0.03)\)
= 1.54 mm
Reading taken =1mm + 51(0.01mm)
= 1.51 mm
So, Correct reading \( = 1.51 - (-0.03)\)
= 1.54 mm
