Solution

The pitch of the screw is the distance between two successive screw threads. It is also equal to the distance travelled by the tip of the screw for one complete rotation of the head.
Pitch= $\frac{(D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d o n t h e p i t c h s c a l e)}{(N o . o f r o t a t i o n s o f t h e h e a d s c a l e)}$
