If the radius of a sphere is measured as with an error of then, find the approxi

If the radius of a sphere is measured as \( 9 \mathrm{cm} \) with an error of \( 0.03 \mathrm{cm} \) then, find the approximate error in calculating its volume

  • A. \( 9.72 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3} \)
  • B. \( 7.92 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3} \)
  • C. \( 8.72 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3} \)
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

Volume of sphere V = (4/3)πr^3. Differentiating, dV = 4πr^2 dr. Given r = 9 cm and dr = 0.03 cm, so dV = 4π(81)(0.03) = 9.72π cm^3.
