- Positive
- Negative
- Nil
Correct Answer

A. Positive

Explanation

The given question is asking about the zero error in a screw gauge where the zero of the head scale lies below the pitch scale axis. In this case, the zero error is positive. This means that the actual measurement will be greater than the reading obtained from the instrument.

Screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of ______
- Crow bar
- Thin wire
- Cricket ball
Correct Answer

A. Thin wire

Explanation

A screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of a thin wire because it provides a more precise measurement than other measuring instruments. The screw gauge consists of a screw mechanism that moves a spindle towards or away from an anvil. By rotating the thimble, the spindle moves, allowing for accurate measurements of the wire's diameter. This is particularly useful for measuring thin wires, as their small size requires a high level of precision.
