A four-variable logic function that is equal to 1 if any three or all four of its variables are equal to 1 is called a majority function. Design a minimum-cost SOP circuit that implements this majority function.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?
