NEET 2018 Physics Screw Gauge MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count 0.001 cm. The main scale reading is 5 mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with 25 divisions above the reference level. If screw gauge has a zero error of0f^{-0}.004 cm, the correct diameter of the ball is

A

0.521 cm

B

0.525 cm

C

0.053 cm

D

0.529 cm

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The correct diameter is calculated by adding the main scale reading and the circular scale reading, then adjusting for zero error.
