A person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time interval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $$\delta T = 0.01$$ seconds and he measures the depth of the well to be $$L=20$$ meters. Take the acceleration due to gravity $$g = 10m{s^{ - 2}}$$ and the velocity of sound is $$300$$ $$m{s^{ - 1}}$$. Then the fractional error in the measurement, $$\delta L/L,$$ is closest to

Three vectors $$\overrightarrow P ,\overrightarrow Q $$ and $$\overrightarrow R $$ are shown in the figure. Let $$S$$ be any point on the vector $$\overrightarrow R .$$ The distance between the points $$P$$ and $$S$$ is $$b\left| {\overrightarrow R } \right|.$$ The general relation among vectors $$\overrightarrow P ,\overrightarrow Q $$ and $$\overrightarrow S $$ is :

Consider an expanding sphere of instantaneous radius R whose total mass remains constant. The expansion is such that the instantaneous density $$\rho $$ remains uniform throughout the volume. The rate of fractional change in density $$\left( {{1 \over \rho } {{d\rho } \over {dt}}} \right)$$ is constant. The velocity $$v$$ of any point on the surface of the expanding sphere is proportional to

A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque $$\tau$$ about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct?
