The density of a solid metal sphere is diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is (x100)\left(\dfrac{x}{100}\right) % . If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are 6.06 . 0 % and 1 . 5 % respectively, the value of xx is −-

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

ρ=m43π(d2)3ρ = \dfrac{m}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi{\left(\dfrac{d}{2}\right)}^{3}}

ρ=6mπd3ρ = \dfrac{6m}{\pi{d}^{3}}

taking log

ℓnρ=ℓnm−3ℓndℓnρ = ℓnm - 3ℓnd

Maximum error by differentiation

dρρ=dmm+3ddd\dfrac{dρ}{ρ} = \dfrac{dm}{m} + 3\dfrac{dd}{d}

dpρ=6+3×1.5\dfrac{dp}{ρ} = 6 + 3 \times 1 . 5

=10.5= 10 . 5 % = \dfrac{1050}{100} %

Ans. x=1050x = 1050
