$A$ famous relation in physics relates 'moving mass' $m$ to the 'rest mass' $m_{0}$ of a particle in terms of its speed $v$ and the speed of light $c$. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). $A$ boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant $c$. He writes:
$m = \frac{m_{0}}{(1 - v^{2})^{1/2}}$
Guess where to put the missing $c$.

The energy $(E)$, angular momentum $(L)$, and universal gravitational constant $(G)$ are chosen as fundamental quantities. The dimensions of the universal gravitational constant in the dimensional formula of Planck's constant $(h)$ is

In an experiment,four quantities $a, b, c$ and $d$ are measured with percentage errors of $1\%, 2\%, 3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively. Quantity $w$ is calculated as follows: $w = \frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2 \sqrt{d}}$. The percentage error in the measurement of $w$ is .......... $\%$.

$A$ book with many printing errors contains four different formulas for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic motion:
$(a) \; y = a \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
$(b) \; y = a \sin v t$
$(c) \; y = \left(\frac{a}{T}\right) \sin \frac{t}{a}$
$(d) \; y = (a \sqrt{2}) \left(\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T} + \cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right)$
($a =$ maximum displacement of the particle,$v =$ speed of the particle,$T =$ time-period of motion). Rule out the wrong formulas on dimensional grounds.
