LC = (4/100)/(40*360) metere
PITCH = LC*360 meter
The whole length of the screw of screw gauge is 4 cm
this corresponds to 40 rotations of the screw
Also , the circlular scale is marked at every 1 degree.
Fidn the Pitch and the least count
Therefore Pitch = 4*10-2 /40 = 1mm
L.C. = P/n
Therefore L.C. = 1mm/360
= 5 * 10-6/18
