The density of the material of cylindrical rod was determined by the formula d = m/π r2 l. The percentage error in m, r and l are 3%, 2% and 0.8% respectively. Calculate the maximum possible percentage error in determination of density |
| Answer» EXPLANATION:Given, Δm/m X 100 = 3Δr/r X 100 = 2Δl/l X 100 = 0.8Maximum PERCENTAGE error, Δd/d X 100 = Δm/m X 100 + 2Δr/r X 100 + Δl/l X 100 = 3 + 2(2) + 0.8 = 7.8% | |
