The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the percentage error in the volume and surface area of a sphere due to an error in the measurement of its radius, we can follow these steps: ### Given: - Error in radius measurement, \( \frac{dr}{r} \times 100 = 0.2\% \) ### Step 1: Find the percentage error in the volume of the sphere. 1. **Formula for Volume of a Sphere**: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] 2. **Differentiate Volume with respect to Radius**: \[ \frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \pi r^2 \] 3. **Using the relationship between differential changes**: \[ dV = 4 \pi r^2 \, dr \] 4. **Percentage error in volume**: \[ \frac{dV}{V} = \frac{4 \pi r^2 \, dr}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3} \] Simplifying this: \[ \frac{dV}{V} = \frac{3 \, dr}{r} \] 5. **Multiply by 100 to get percentage**: \[ \frac{dV}{V} \times 100 = 3 \times \frac{dr}{r} \times 100 \] 6. **Substituting the given error**: \[ \frac{dr}{r} \times 100 = 0.2 \] Therefore, \[ \frac{dV}{V} \times 100 = 3 \times 0.2 = 0.6\% \] ### Step 2: Find the percentage error in the surface area of the sphere. 1. **Formula for Surface Area of a Sphere**: \[ S = 4 \pi r^2 \] 2. **Differentiate Surface Area with respect to Radius**: \[ \frac{dS}{dr} = 8 \pi r \] 3. **Using the relationship between differential changes**: \[ dS = 8 \pi r \, dr \] 4. **Percentage error in surface area**: \[ \frac{dS}{S} = \frac{8 \pi r \, dr}{4 \pi r^2} \] Simplifying this: \[ \frac{dS}{S} = \frac{2 \, dr}{r} \] 5. **Multiply by 100 to get percentage**: \[ \frac{dS}{S} \times 100 = 2 \times \frac{dr}{r} \times 100 \] 6. **Substituting the given error**: \[ \frac{dr}{r} \times 100 = 0.2 \] Therefore, \[ \frac{dS}{S} \times 100 = 2 \times 0.2 = 0.4\% \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Percentage error in volume: **0.6%** - (ii) Percentage error in surface area: **0.4%** ---
