Student AA and student BB used two screw gauges of equal pitch and 100100 equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is 0.322cm0 . 322cm. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students AA and BB is _______.

[Figure shows position of reference OO when jaws of screw gauge are closed]

Given pitch =0.1cm= 0 . 1cm.

Student A and student B used two screw gauges of equal pitch and 100 equal circular divisions to measure the radius of

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

For AA,

Reading =MSR+CSR+Error= MSR + CSR + Error

0.322=0.300+CSR+5×LC0 . 322 = 0 . 300 + CSR + 5 \times LC

0.322=0.300+CSR+0.0050 . 322 = 0 . 300 + CSR + 0 . 005

CSR=0.017CSR = 0 . 017

For BB,

Reading =MSR+CSR+Error= MSR + CSR + Error

0.322=0.200+CSR+0.0920 . 322 = 0 . 200 + CSR + 0 . 092

CSR=0.030CSR = 0 . 030

Difference =0.030−0.017=0.013cm= 0 . 030 - 0 . 017 = 0 . 013cm

Division on circular scale =0.0130.001=13= \dfrac{0 . 013}{0 . 001} = 13
