To find the maximum error in the measurement of the density of a cube, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for density The density \( \rho \) of a cube is defined as the mass \( m \) divided by the volume \( V \). The volume of a cube with side length \( L \) is given by: \[ V = L^3 \] Thus, the formula for density can be written as: ...
