A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is:
  1. 0.25 mm
  2. 0.5 mm
  3. 1.0 mm
  4. 0.01 mm

Solution

The least count on screw gauge is given by,L.C.=Pitch Number of division on circular scale 

⇒0.01 mm=Pitch50

⇒Pitch=0.5 mm
