Question

Mass = \( (28 \pm 0.01) \, \text{g} \), Volume = \( (5 \pm 0.1) \, \text{cm}^3 \). What is the percentage error in density?

• A. \( \frac{2.25}{28} \% \)
• B. \( \frac{3.57}{28} \% \)
• C. \( \frac{1.25}{28} \% \)
• D. \( \frac{4.5}{28} \% \)

Hint:

When calculating percentage errors in density, sum the percentage errors in mass and volume. Be mindful of the unit conversions and ensure all uncertainties are included in the calculation.
