Question

If the reading of a linear scale is 4 mm and no of division of the circular scale is 50, then what will be the diameter of the wire in mm? (Least count = 0.01) * 2 points 2.25 3.5 4.5 9.0

Answer 1

Diameter of Wire = 4.5 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the fractional part of the reading. The fractional part o the reading can be given by the following formula:

Fractional Part = Circular Scale Reading x Least Count

where,

Circular Scale Reading = 50

Least Count = 0.01 mm

Therefore,

Fractional Part = (50)(0.01 mm)

Fractional Part = 0.5 mm

Now, the diameter of the wire can be given by using the following formula:

Diameter of Wire = Linear Scale Reading + Fractional Part

Diameter of Wire = 4 mm + 0.5 mm

Diameter of Wire = 4.5 mm
