The maximum percentage error in the measurement of density of a wire is [Given, mass of wire =(0.60±0.003) g, radius of wire =(0.50±0.01) cm, length of wire =(10.00±0.05) cm]

Question

Accepted Answer

(1) 5. Given: m=0.60±0.003 g, r=0.50±0.01 cm, l=10.00±0.05 cm. Idea: ρ=m/(π r²l), so the radius enters squared. (Δρ)/ρ=(Δ m)/m+2(Δ r)/r+(Δ l)/l =(0.003)/(0.60)+2×(0.01)/(0.50)+(0.05)/(10.00) =0.005+0.040+0.005=0.05, that is 5%.
