The pressure P, the volume V, and the temperature T of an enclosed gas are related by the Ideal Gas Law, PV = kT where k is a constant. With the temperature held constant, the volume of the gas is calculated from a measured value of its pressure. Estimate the maximum permissible error in the pressure measurement if the percentage error in the volume must be kept to within ±3%.
