An American golf ball is described in Problem 1.32 Assuming the measured mass and its uncertainty as given, determine the precision to which the diameter of the ball must be measured so the density of the ball may be estimated within an uncertainty of ±1 percent.
1.32 The mass of the standard American golf ball is l.62 ± 0.01 oz and its mean diameter is l.68 ± 0.01 in. Determine the density and specific gravity of the American golf ball. Estimate the uncertainties in the calculated values.
