Set 2
(i) Name the instrument used for measuring the thickness of a piece of paper
Ans: It is the distance advanced by the screw for one complete rotation of the head.
(iii) The pitch of a screw is 1 mm and the number of divisions on the head scale is 100. What
is the least count?
Ans: Least count = pitch/ No: of divisions on the head scale = 1/100 = 0.01 mm
Ans: If the zero of the head scale does not coincide with the zero of the pitch scale when the
end of the movable screw is in contact with the stud, the screw gauge is said to have zero
error.
(v) If the zero of the head scale is 5 divisions above the line of graduation of the pitch scale
when the gap is closed, what is the zero error? What is the zero correction? Least count of
the vernier = 0.01 mm
(vi) If the zero of the head scale is 5 divisions below the line of graduation of the pitch scale
when the gap is closed, what is the zero error and correction? Least count = 0.01 mm
(viii) Why do you stop rotating the screw as soon as the ratchet begins to turn between the
fingers?
Ans: When the ratchet begins to turn, the two faces are in contact or in contact with the body
held between them. The device avoids undue pressure on the screw.
