If (1 \%) and (2 \%) are the errors in the measurement of mass and density of a cube respectively, then the error in the measurement of length is

Options

  1. A(1 \%)
  2. B(3 \%)
  3. C(2 \%)
  4. D(4 \%)

Correct answer

A. (1 \%)

Step-by-step solution

Given, error in measurement of mass, \(Δmm=(\frac{\Delta m}{m}=1 \%) and error in measurement of density, \(Δdd=(\frac{\Delta d}{d}=2 \%) Now, density, \(d= mass  volume \Rightarrowd=mV(d=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }} \Rightarrowd=\frac{m}{V}) (\therefore) Volume of cube, V=l3V=l^3 Then, \(d=ml3\Rightarrowl=(md)13(d=\frac{m}{l^3} \Rightarrowl=\left(\frac{m}{d}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}) Then the error in measurement of length, (Δll×100=13(Δmm×100+Δdd×100)Δll×100=13(1+2)×100Δll=1%\begin{aligned} \frac{\Delta l}{l} \times100 & =\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{\Delta m}{m} \times₁₀₀⁺\frac{\Delta d}{d} \times100\right) \\ \frac{\Delta l}{l} \times100 & =\frac{1}{3}(1+2) \times 100 \\ \frac{\Delta l}{l}& =1 \% \end{aligned})
