A screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire.Main scale reading: 0 mmCircular scale reading: 52 divisionsGiven that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is:
cm
cm
cm
cm
To find the diameter of the wire using the screw gauge, we need to understand the relationship between the main scale and the circular scale.Given:⢠Main scale reading (MSR) mm⢠Circular scale reading (CSR) divisions⢠1 mm on the main scale corresponds to 100 divisions on the circular scale.The formula to calculate the diameter using a screw gauge is:DiameterMSRThe least count (LC) of the screw gauge is the value of one division on the circular scale, which is:LC mmSubstitute the values into the formula:Diameter mmCalculate:Diameter mmConvert the diameter from mm to cm:Diameter mm cm cmTherefore, the diameter of the wire is cm, which corresponds to Option 4.
