The mass of a cube has error of 2% and the length of its edge has error of 1%. What will be the maximum percentage error in calculation of its density.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Density of cube `(p)=(M)/(V)=(M)/L^(3)) therefore((Deltap)/(P))_("max")xx100=((DeltaM)/(M)xx100)+3(DeltaL)/(L)xx100)=2%+3(1%)=5%`
