Question 26

The percentage error in the calculated volume of a sphere, if there is 2% error in its diameter measurement, is __________.

Solution :

Volume of sphere :

$$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$

Since diameter $$d = 2r$$,

$$V \propto d^3$$

Therefore,

$$\frac{\Delta V}{V} = 3\frac{\Delta d}{d}$$

Given percentage error in diameter :

$$\frac{\Delta d}{d} \times 100 = 2\%$$

Hence,

$$\frac{\Delta V}{V} \times 100 = 3 \times 2\%$$

$$= 6\%$$

Final Answer :

$$6\%$$
