So for part (i)I found the volume is equal to v= 6283.19 cm^3 , now for part (ii) does anyone know how to do it? Or any hints? Thanks
You could calculate the volume of a cylinder of radius 10+0.03 cm and height 20+0.05 cm, then determine the difference of the result from your previously calculated volume.
You should also do the same for radius 10-0.03 and height 20-0.05 cm.
Take the larger of the two differences.
thanks for your answer, this is how I have done it now can you please correct me if I'm wrong? thanks
first I calculated the new volume of the cylinder with radius 10.03 and height 20.05;
v= pi * (10.03)2 * ( 20.05) = 1263.56
The initial volume of the cylinder - the new volume =
6283.19 - 1263.56 = 5019.63
then I calculated the volume of the cylinder with radius 9.97 and height 19.95,
V= pi * (9.97)2 * (19.95) = 6229.93
The initial volume of the cylinder - the new volume =
6283.19 - 6229.93 = 53.26
so the approximate maximum error is 5019.63
Is that right? Please let me know.
Solution:
V=π∗r2∗h±(error)For this equation, the easiest method is to calculate each error as a decimal and then use the sum of the decimals to calculate the error range.
