Look at the figure of the screw gauge, let a small steel ball is place between its thimble and anvil then:
a. What is its main scale reading?
b. What is the coinciding division of circular scale?
c. Calculate the total diameter of the ball.
Ans:
a. The main scale reading (reading which is visible) is 6.5 mm.
b. The coinciding division on circular scale is 46th division.
c. The total reading:
6.5+46(0.01) mm = 6.5 + 0.46 cm = 6.96 mm
