A physical quantity $$z$$ depends on four observables $$a$$, $$b$$, $$c$$ and $$d$$, as $$z = \frac{a^2 b^{2/3}}{\sqrt{cd^3}}$$. The percentage of error in the measurement of $$a$$, $$b$$, $$c$$ and $$d$$ are $$2\%$$, $$1.5\%$$, $$4\%$$ and $$2.5\%$$ respectively. The percentage of error in $$z$$ is:
A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point $$A$$ on the ground. When it is at a height $$h_1$$, a girl standing at a distance $$d$$ (point B) from $$A$$ (see figure) sees it at an angle $$45^\circ$$ with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height $$h_2$$, it is seen at an angle $$60^\circ$$ with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance $$2.464\,d$$ (point C). Then the height $$h_2$$ is (given $$\tan 30^\circ = 0.5774$$):
A helicopter rises from rest on the ground vertically upwards with a constant acceleration $$g$$. A food packet is dropped from the helicopter when it is at a height $$h$$. The time taken by the packet to reach the ground is close to [$$g$$ is the acceleration due to gravity]:
A wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $$\omega$$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $$I$$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible.

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the $$P$$ vs $$V$$ diagram. The paths are labelled as $$A \to B$$, $$A \to C$$ and $$A \to D$$.

In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to a height of $$17.0\,\text{cm}$$, from bottom, it resonates with a given tuning fork.
