The maximum error in the measurement of mass and density of the cube are 3% and 9% respectively. The maximum error in the measurement of length will be |
9% 3% 4% 2% |
4% |
Density = $\rho$ = $\frac{\text {Mass (M)}}{\text{Volume (V)}} = \frac{M}{V}$ V = $\frac{M}{\rho}$ $\ell^3=\frac{M}{\rho}$ Max. fractional error $\frac{3 \Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{\Delta M}{M}+\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho}$ Percentage error $\frac{3 \Delta \rho}{\ell}$% = 3% + 9% $\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \%=\frac{12}{3}$% $\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}$% = 4% |
