For small % errors, we can, do differentiation
Fractional error \(=\frac{ dE }{ E }=\frac{2 Ae ^{-\alpha t }( dA )+\left(-\alpha A ^2 e ^{-\alpha t }\right) dt }{ A ^2 e ^{-\alpha t }}=2\left(\frac{ dA }{ A }\right)+\) \(\left(-\alpha \frac{ dt }{ t }\right) t\)

- Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
Question :
If the radius of the opening of the dropper is \(r\), the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius \(R\) (assuming \(r< < R\) ) isJEE Advanced 2010 Medium - Two soap bubbles \(A\) and \(B\) are kept in a closed chamber where the air is maintained at pressure \(8 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\).

Find the ratio \(\frac{n_B}{n_A}\), where \(n_A\) and \(n_B\) are the number of moles of air in bubbles \(A\) and \(B\), respectively. [Neglect the effect of gravity]JEE Advanced 2009 Hard
