Question
A micrometer screw has a pitch of 0.5 mm. the circular scale is divided into 50 parts. The least ofmicrometer is
Solution
The least count of a micrometer screw gauge is calculated using the formula:
Least Count (LC) = Pitch / Number of divisions on the circular scale
Given in the question:
Pitch = 0.5 mm Number of divisions on the circular scale = 50
Substituting these values into the formula:
LC = 0.5 mm / 50 = 0.01 mm
So, the least count of the micrometer screw gauge is 0.01 mm.
