Answer» The dimensions of a rectangular block measured with a vernier calliper having least count 0.01 cm or, 0.1mm is 4.0 MM × 10.0 mm × 10.0 mm. we KNOW, formula of volume , V = LBH using log both sides, logV = log(lbh) or, logV = logl + LOGB + logh differentiating both sides, or, dV/V = dl/l + db/b + dh/h or, ∆V/V = ∆l/l + ∆b/b + ∆h/h = 0.1/4 + 0.1/10 + 0.1/10 = 0.025 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.045 or, ∆V/V = 0.045 or, ∆V/V × 100 = 0.04 × 100 = 4.5% or, % error in volume of rectangular box = 4.5% |
