The pitch of the screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular scale. When nothing is put in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies 8 divisions below the reference line. When a wire is placed between the jaws, the first linear scale division is clearly visible while 72^nd division on circular scale coincides with the reference line. The radius of the wire is :

The work done by a gas molecule in an isolated system is

given by, $$W = \alpha {\beta ^2}{e^{ - {{{x^2}} \over {\alpha kT}}}}$$, where x is the displacement, k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ are constants. Then the dimensions of $$\beta$$ will be :

A student measuring the diameter of a pencil of circular cross-section with the help of a vernier scale records the following four readings 5.50 mm, 5.55 mm, 5.45 mm, 5.65 mm. The average of these four readings is 5.5375 mm and the standard deviation of the data is 0.07395 mm. The average diameter
of the pencil should therefore be recorded as :

A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is 4 units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of 0.5mm is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved and the least count of the screw gauge, are respectively :
