Question 12 If the radius of a sphere is measured as 9 cm with an error of 0.03 cm, then find the approximate error in calculating its volume.Given Radius of sphere = r = 9 cm Error in radius = ār = 0.03 cm We need to find Error in calculating Volume Let Volume of sphere = V = š/š š š^š ā“ We need to find āV Now, āV = šš/šš ār = š(4/3 šš^3 )/šš ār = 4/3 š (šš^3)/šš ār = 4/3 š (3š^2 )(0.03 ) = 4šš^2(0.03) = 4š(9)2 (0.03) = 9.72š cm3 Hence, approximate error in calculating volume is 9.72š cm3
