The focal length of a mirror is given by $\frac{2}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$. In finding the values of $u$ and $v$,the errors are equal to $p$. Then,the relative error in $f$ is

Let $\overline{a}, \overline{b}$ and $\overline{c}$ be three non-zero vectors such that no two of them are collinear and $(\overline{a} \times \overline{b}) \times \overline{c}=\frac{1}{3}|\overline{b}||\overline{c}| \overline{a}$. If $\theta$ is the angle between the vectors $\overline{b}$ and $\overline{c}$,then the value of $\sin \theta$ is

$A$ particle of mass $5 \times 10^{-5} \ kg$ is placed at the lowest point of a smooth parabola $x^2 = 40y$ (where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$). If it is displaced slightly such that it is constrained to move along the parabola,the angular frequency of oscillation (in $rad/s$) will be approximately:
