The mass of a body is $$20.000$$ g and its volume is $$10.00$$ $$cm3$$. If the measured values are expressed to the correct significant figures, the maximum error in the value of density is

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

Maximum error in measuring mass $$=$$ $$0.001$$ g, because least count is $$0.001$$ g, Similarly, maximum error in measuring volume is $$0.01$$ $$cm3$$.Δρρ$$=$$Δ$$MM+$$Δ$$VV=0.00120.000+0.0110.00$$                                $$=5$$×$$10$$−$$5+1$$×$$10$$−$$3=1.05$$×$$10$$−$$3$$Δρ$$=1.05$$×$$10$$−$$3$$×ρ     $$=1.05$$×$$10$$−$$3$$×$$20.00010.00=0.002gcm$$−$$3$$
