A rectangular metal slab of mass 33.333 g has its length 8.0 cm, breadth 5.0 cm and thickness 1mm. The mass is measured with accuracy up to 1 mg with a senstitive balance. The length and breadth are measured with a vernier calipers having a least count of 0.01 cm. The thickness is measured with a screwgauge of least count 0.01 mm. Calculate the percentage accuracy in density from above measurements.
