The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively 1.5%
3.5
2.5
4.5
6
Solution:
Density ρ=m/V=m/l³ Maximum percentage error in density Δρ/ρ × 100 = Δm/m × 100 + 3Δl/l × 100 ⇒ Δρ/ρ × 100 = 1.5 + 3 × 1 = 4.5
