44. 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 of $-0.004 cm$, the correct diameter of the ball is [2018]

(b) $0.525 cm$

(c) $0.529 cm$

(d) $0.053 cm$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 44. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Diameter of the ball

$ \begin{aligned} & =MSR+CSR \times(\text{ least count })-\text{ zero error } \\ & =0.5 cm+25 \times 0.001-(-0.004) \\ & =0.5+0.025+0.004=0.529 cm \end{aligned} $
