The percentage error in the calculated volume of a sphere, if there is \(2\%\) error in its diameter measurement, is __________.

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The volume of a sphere in terms of its diameter \(D\) is given by \(V = \dfrac{\pi}{6}D^3\) Taking the natural logarithm on both sides, we get \(\ln V = \ln\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) + 3 \ln D\) Differentiating for small errors, we obtain…
