Let $$OA=a,$$ $$OB=10a+2b$$ and $$OC=b$$ where $$O,A$$ and $$C$$ are non-collinear points. Let $$p$$ denote the area of the quadrilateral $$OABC,$$ and let $$q$$ denote the area of the parallelogram with $$OA$$ and $$OC$$ as adjacent sides. If $$p=kq,$$ then $$k=$$.........

If $$A,B$$ and $$C$$ are vectors such that $$\left| B \right| = \left| C \right|.$$ Prove that
$$\left[ {\left( {A + B} \right) \times \left( {A + C} \right)} \right] \times \left( {B \times C} \right)\left( {B + C} \right) = 0\,\,.$$

The equation of state for real gas is given by $$\left( {P + {a \over {{V^2}}}} \right)\left( {V - b} \right) = RT$$. The dimention of the constant a is ___________.
