Answer Question

Answer 1

There are 50 divisions of .01mm on the thimble of a metric micrometer.

And here's how you calculate the least count of a micrometer:

The formula you need is Least Count (L. C) = Pith/no. Of divisions on micrometer barrel(thimble)
where, Pith = distance travelled by thimble on linear sacle in one rotation.

Remember! The barrel/thimble of the micrometer will be divided into increments of .01 mm (millimeters).

Answer 2

Least count of a micrometer caliper is given by the pitch i.e. The distance covered by the screw in one revolution(usually .5 mm or 1 mm max!) divided by the total number of circular scale divisions(usually 50 or 100).Just remember that least count is always the SMALLEST POSSIBLE VALUE the instrument can measure.

Answer 3

Usually one thousandth of an inch, or one hundredth of a millimetre
