Question

In the density measurement of a cube, the mass and edge length are measured as $$\left( {10.00 \pm 0.10} \right)kg$$    and $$\left( {0.10 \pm 0.01} \right)m,$$    respectively. The error in the measurement of density is-

A. $$0.01\,kg/{m^3}$$
B. $$0.10\,kg/{m^3}$$
C. $$0.31\,kg/{m^3}$$  
D. $$0.07\,kg/{m^3}$$
Answer :   $$0.31\,kg/{m^3}$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & d = \frac{M}{V} = \frac{M}{{{L^3}}} = M{L^{ - 3}} \cr & \frac{{\Delta d}}{d} = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + 3\frac{{\Delta L}}{L} \cr & = \frac{{0.10}}{{10.00}} + 3\left( {\frac{{0.01}}{{0.10}}} \right) = 0.31\,kg\,{m^{ - 3}} \cr} $$
