Question

The density of a rectangular solid block is found by measuring
the sides with a ruler which can be read to +-0.5mm and then
finding its mass from a balance accurate up to +- 1g. The
readings obtained were length = 4.56 cm, width = 3.52 cm,
height = 3.04 cm, mass = 32 g. find (i) Volume of the block (ii)
maximum and minimum values possible for volume (iii) Density
of the block (iv) maximum error in density (v) Express volume
and density of the block showing errors​

Answer 1

Answer:

The density of a rectangular solid block is found by measuring

the sides with a ruler which can be read to +-0.5mm and then

finding its mass from a balance accurate up to +- 1g. The

readings obtained were length = 4.56 cm, width = 3.52 cm,

height = 3.04 cm, mass = 32 g. find (i) Volume of the block (ii)

maximum and minimum values possible for volume (iii) Density

of the block (iv) maximum error in density (v) Express volume

and density of the block showing errors
