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

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 6
  4. 8

Answer

(3) 6

Solution

Volume of a sphere in terms of its diameter:

V= 43 ( D2 )3= D36

∵ and 6 are exact numbers, the error in V comes only from D3:

VV=3 DD

∴ Percentage error in V=3 2\%=6\%

Answer: (3)
