To determine the actual readings of the micrometer screw gauges, we need to understand how to read a micrometer. A micrometer typically consists of:
1. Main Scale (Fixed Scale): This is the scale on the sleeve and provides the primary measurement in millimeters.
2. Thimble Scale (Rotating Scale): This is the scale on the thimble and provides the fractional part of the measurement in hundredths or thousandths of a millimeter.
- Main Scale Reading: Read the number of full millimeters from the main scale.
- Thimble Scale Reading: Count the number of divisions on the thimble scale that align with the reference line on the sleeve. Each division on the thimble scale represents a fraction of a millimeter (e.g., 0.01 mm or 0.001 mm).
- Total Reading: Add the main scale reading and the thimble scale reading.
Let's solve each part step by step:
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 10 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 20 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 15th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 15 \times 0.01 = 0.15 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
10 + 0.15 = 10.15 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for a): \( \boxed{10.15} \)
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 4 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 50 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 45th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 45 \times 0.01 = 0.45 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
4 + 0.45 = 4.45 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for b): \( \boxed{4.45} \)
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 9 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 50 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 45th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 45 \times 0.01 = 0.45 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
9 + 0.45 = 9.45 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for c): \( \boxed{9.45} \)
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 10 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 50 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 0th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 0 \times 0.01 = 0.00 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
10 + 0.00 = 10.00 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for d): \( \boxed{10.00} \)
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 5 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 50 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 5th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 5 \times 0.01 = 0.05 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
5 + 0.05 = 5.05 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for e): \( \boxed{5.05} \)
---
- Main Scale Reading: The main scale shows 10 mm.
- Thimble Scale Reading: The thimble scale has 50 divisions, and each division represents 0.01 mm. The alignment is at the 5th division.
- Thimble Scale Reading = \( 5 \times 0.01 = 0.05 \) mm.
- Total Reading:
\[
10 + 0.05 = 10.05 \, \text{mm}
\]
Answer for f): \( \boxed{10.05} \)
---
\[
\boxed{10.15, 4.45, 9.45, 10.00, 5.05, 10.05}
\]
1. Main Scale (Fixed Scale): This is the scale on the sleeve and provides the primary measurement in millimeters.

General Reading Procedure:
- Main Scale Reading: Read the number of full millimeters from the main scale.
- Thimble Scale Reading: Count the number of divisions on the thimble scale that align with the reference line on the sleeve. Each division on the thimble scale represents a fraction of a millimeter (e.g., 0.01 mm or 0.001 mm).
- Total Reading: Add the main scale reading and the thimble scale reading.
