→A gas is initially at a pressure of $100kPa$ and its volume is $2.0m^3$. Its pressure is kept constant and the volume is changed from $2.0m^3$ to $2.5m^3$. Its volume is now kept constant and the pressure is increased from $100kPa$ to $200kPa$. The gas is brought back to its initial state, the pressure varying linearly with its volume.

→In an experimental set up, the density of a small sphere is to be determined. The diameter of the small sphere is measured with the help of a screw gauge, whose pitch is 0.4mm and there are 50 divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is 2.5mm and that on the circular scale is 20 divisions. If the measured mass of the sphere has a relative error of 2%, find the relative percentage error in density.
A man wants to reach from A to the opposite corner of the square C Fig. The sides of the square are 100m. A central square of 50m × 50m is filled with sand. Outside this square, he can walk at a speed 1m/ s. In the central square, he can walk only at a speed of $\upsilon\text{m/ s}(\upsilon<1)$. What is smallest value of v for which he can reach faster via a straight path through the sand than any path in the square outside the sand?
