The errors in the measurement of mass and length of the cube is \(1.5 \%\) and \(2 \cdot 5 \%\)
respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of density of a cube is

  1. A \(3 \%\)
  2. B \(1.5 \%\)
  3. C \(6 \%\)
  4. D \(9 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Density \(p=\frac{m}{v}=\frac{m}{l^{3}}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \max \% \operatorname{ser} 0 r=\frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100 &=\frac{\Delta m}{m} \times 100+3 \times \frac{\Delta l}{l} \times 100 \\ &=(1.5+3 \times 2.5) \% \\ &=(1.5+7.5) \%=9 \% \end{aligned}\)
