A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is 0.5 mm. What is its least count? Ans. (0.001 cm)



Given: 

Numbers of circular scale divisions of Screw gauge = 50

Pitch of the Screw gauge = 0.5 mm

To find: 

Least Count = ?

Solution: 

We know that

 

Least count
= `\frac{0.5 mm}{50}`

Least count = 0.01 mm

or

Least count = 0.001 cm
