The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively \(1.5\%\) and \(1\%\), the maximum error in determining the density is ........ \(\%\)
- A \(3.5\)
- B \(4.5\)
- C \(6\)
- D \(2.5\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(4.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(Density\left( d \right) = \frac{{mass\left( M \right)}}{{volume\left( V \right)}} = \frac{M}{{{L^3}}}\) \(\therefore Error\,in\,density,\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d} = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + \frac{{3\Delta L}}{L}\) \( = 1.5\% + 3\left( {1\% } \right) = 4.5\% \)
