Question
The pressure of the wheel of motor car at any instant is equal to 2 atmospheric pressure at the temperature is $15^{\circ} C$. At this moment the tube of the wheel bursts. Find the decrease in temperature of the released $\operatorname{air}(\gamma=1.4)$

Answer

Given that :
$P_1=2 Atmospheric$
$\begin{aligned}T_1 & =15^{\circ} C=15+273=288 K \\\gamma & =1.4 \\T_2 & =? \\P_2 & =1 \text { Atmospheric }\end{aligned}$
And
We know that
\begin{array}{l} 
P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^\gamma=P_2^{1-\gamma} T_2^\gamma=\text { Constant } \\\begin{aligned}\left(\frac{P_1}{P_2}\right)^{1-\gamma} & =\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^\gamma \\\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^\gamma & =\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}} \\T_2 & =T_1\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}} \\& =288\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}} \\& =288\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2 / 7} \\
T_2 & =\frac{280}{2^{2 / 7}}\end{aligned}\end{array}
Taking log both sides :
$\begin{aligned}\log T_2 & =\log 288-\frac{2}{7}\log 2 \\& =2.4594-\frac{2}{7}(0.3010) \\& =2.4594-0.086\\\log T_2 & =2.3734 \\ T_2 & =\text { Anti } \log 2.3734\\\therefore\quad T_2 & =236.3 K\end{aligned}$
Decrease in temperature
$\begin{array}{l}=288-236.3 \\=51.7 K\end{array}$

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
