The dimensions of a cone are measured using a scale with a least count of 2 mm . The diameter of the base and the height are both measured to be 20.0 cm. The maximum percentage error in the determination of the volume is ____.

Answer: 3

Solution

The volume of a cone is .

The percentage error in volume is:


Given least count = 2 mm = 0.2 cm, and measurements D = H = 20.0 cm:



Therefore:
