Answer:

  • 4.77 %

Explanation:

We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is

V(r) = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3

If we got an uncertainty \Delta r the formula for the uncertainty of V is:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (\frac{dV}{dr} \Delta r)^2  }

We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 3 * \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^2

\frac{dV}{dr}  = 4 \ \pi \ r^2

And using it in the formula:

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  (4 \ \pi \ r^2\Delta r)^2  }

\Delta V(r) = \sqrt{  4^2 \ \pi^2 \ r^4 \Delta r^2  }

\Delta V(r) =  4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r

The relative uncertainty is:

\frac{\Delta V(r)}{V(r)}

\frac{ 4 \  \pi \ r^2 \Delta r  }{ \frac{4}{3} \ \pi \ r^3}

\frac{ 3  \Delta r  }{  r}

Using the values for the problem:

\frac{ 3 * 0.09 m  }{  5.66 m} = 0.0477

This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
