The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is \(\left(\frac{x}{100}\right) \% .\) If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are \(6.0 \%\) and \(1.5 \%\) respectively, the value of \(x\) is

  1. A \(1000\)
  2. B \(1075\)
  3. C \(1060\)
  4. D \(1050\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1050\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\rho=\frac{M}{V}=\frac{M}{\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{D}{2}\right)^{3}}\) \(\rho=\frac{6}{\pi} M D ^{-3}\) taking log \(\ell n \rho=\ell n \left(\frac{6}{\pi}\right)+\ell n M -3 \ell m D\) Differentiates \(\frac{ d p}{\rho}=0+\frac{ d M }{ M }-3 \frac{ d ( D )}{ D }\) for…
