The figure shown below is a screwgauge. When the circular scale division matches the main scale at 43, the 6.5mm6 . 5 m m mark on the main scale is just visible. The main scale has 12mm\dfrac{1}{2}mmmarks. In complete rotation, the screw advances by 12mm\dfrac{1}{2}mm and circular scale has 5050 divisions. The reading of the screwgauge is

The figure shown below is a screwgauge. When the circular scale division matches the main scale at 43, the 6 . 5 m m

Options

  1. A6.93mm6 . 93mm
  2. B5.93mm5 . 93mm
  3. C4.93mm4 . 93mm
  4. D7.93mm7 . 93mm

Correct answer

A. 6.93mm6 . 93mm

Step-by-step solution

Object thickness =6.5mm+431/2mm50=6.93mm= 6.5 \text{mm} + 4 3 \dfrac{1 / 2 mm}{5 0} = \text{6.93} mm
