[填空题]
The density of a solid sphere is measured with per8 h-(xk9ns-zygzz l7ycentagekod6) og6qs) e uncertainty of 5%. The radius of the sphere is 4.0 ± 0.2 cm. What is the percentage uncertainty in the mass of ths )dq o)ge6o6ke sphere? % (Please do not include the % simbol in the blank)
参考答案: 20.0
本题详细解析: The mass of the sphere can be calculated by multiplqz a1q1mc 6kw7ying its volume by the density of the material of wh617w 1z cmkaqqich it is made: $$M=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho$$ so the percentage uncertainty in $M$ is $$\frac{\Delta M}{M}=3 \frac{\Delta r}{r}+\frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} .$$ The percentage uncertainty in $r$ is $5 \%$, so the percentage error in $M$ is $(3 \times 5 \%)+5 \%=20 \%$
