Density (in kg/m3)can be found by D = M L3 where M is the mass of the object (in kg) and L is the length of a side of the cube (in meters). Assume the mass M ∼ ·(µM = 1.0, σ2 M = 0.022 ) (i.e. 1.0±0.02) and assume the length L ∼ ·(µL = 0.1, σ2 L = 0.0052 ) (i.e. 0.1±0.005).Assume M and L are independent.(a) Approximate µD.(b) Approximate σD.(c) Write the estimate of the density, along with the estimated error, in engineering (i.e. ±) notation.
