1- Consider the measurement of pressure in a gas through measurement of its temperature T and density p Let the uncertainties of T and p be õT and op where p is determined from the ideal gas p=pRT. Derive an expression of uncertainty (error) in P and determine ôP/P. Suppose the uncertainty in ôp is 1% and in ôT is 2° at T=27°.
