If the error in the measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, then the error in the determination of volume of the sphere will be : |
2 % 4 % 6 % 8 % |
6 % |
Volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\)\(\pi\)R3 \(\frac{\Delta V}{V} = \frac{3 \Delta R}{R} \) Percentage error: (\(\frac{\Delta V}{V}×100) = 3(\frac{\Delta R}{R} ×100)\) =\(3 ×2%\) = 6% |
