The percentage errors in quantities P, Q, R and S are 0.5%, 1%, 3% and 1.5% respectively in the measurement of a physical quantity A = $${{{P^3}{Q^2}} \over {\sqrt R S}}.$$

The maximum percentage error in the value of A will be :

An oscillator of mass M is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential
V = $${1 \over 2}$$ k(x $$-$$ X)². A particle of mass m comes from right with speed u and collides completely inelastically with M and sticks to it. This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position. The amplitude of oscillations after 13 collisions is : (M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1)

Suppose that the angular velocity of rotation of earth is increased. Then, as a consequence :

The relative uncertainly in the period of a satellite orbiting around the earth is 10^-2. If the relative uncertainty in the radius of the orbit is negligible, the relative uncertainty in the mass of the earth is :
