The pitch of a screw gauge is 1 mm and there are 100 divisions on the circular scale. While measuring the diameter of a wire, the linear scale reads 1 mm and 47th divisions on the circular scale coincides with reference line of the main scale. Length of the wire is 5.6 cm as measured by a meter scale.

The curved surface area (in cm2) of the wire to correct significant figure is

  1. 2.5848 cm2
  2. 2.6 cm2
  3. 5.21 cm2
  4. 2.8 cm2

Answer
