The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge, whose pitch is 0.5 mm & there are 50 divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is 2.5 mm & that on the circular scale is 20 divisions. If the measured mass of the ball has a relative error of 2%, the relative percentage error in the density is____(Approximate the answer to the nearest integer.)

In the figure shown S1 and S2 are two identical coherent sources of sound, separated by d. A receiver moves along line XY which is parallel to S1 S2 to detect intensity of sound at various points on the line. Distance of line XY from S1 S2 is D>>d. Distance of first intensity maxima on line XY measured from O is y. Find percentage change in value of y if the temperature of air increases by 1%. If your answer is X% fill value of 6X.
