The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum error in the density of a body given its mass and volume along with their respective errors, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for density Density (D) is defined as the mass (M) of an object divided by its volume (V): \[ D = \frac{M}{V} \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values - Mass (M) = 22.42 g - Volume (V) = 4.7 cm³ - Error in mass (ΔM) = 0.01 g - Error in volume (ΔV) = 0.1 cm³ ### Step 3: Calculate the density Using the formula for density: \[ D = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{22.42 \, \text{g}}{4.7 \, \text{cm}^3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ D \approx 4.77 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate relative errors The relative error in density can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{\Delta D}{D} = \frac{\Delta M}{M} + \frac{\Delta V}{V} \] Where: - \(\Delta D\) = maximum error in density - \(\Delta M\) = error in mass - \(\Delta V\) = error in volume ### Step 5: Calculate the individual relative errors 1. Calculate the relative error in mass: \[ \frac{\Delta M}{M} = \frac{0.01 \, \text{g}}{22.42 \, \text{g}} \approx 0.000445 \] 2. Calculate the relative error in volume: \[ \frac{\Delta V}{V} = \frac{0.1 \, \text{cm}^3}{4.7 \, \text{cm}^3} \approx 0.02128 \] ### Step 6: Combine the relative errors Now, we can add the relative errors: \[ \frac{\Delta D}{D} = 0.000445 + 0.02128 \approx 0.021725 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the maximum error in density Now, we can find the maximum error in density: \[ \Delta D = D \times \frac{\Delta D}{D} \] \[ \Delta D = 4.77 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 0.021725 \approx 0.1037 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ### Final Result The maximum error in the density is approximately: \[ \Delta D \approx 0.10 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \] ---
