JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 14)

If the screw on a screw-gauge is given six rotations, it moves by 3 mm on the main scale. If there are 50 divisions on the circular scale the least count of the screw gauge is :
0.001 mm
0.01 cm
0.02 mm
0.001 cm

Explanation

Pitch = $${3 \over 6}$$ mm = 0.5 mm

Least count = $${{0.5} \over {50}}$$ mm

= $${1 \over {100}}$$ = 0.01 mm = 0.001 cm
