To complete the table by finding how sensitive your surface area estimate to

Answer to Problem 50E
The complete table
Sphere type | True radius | Tape error | Radius error | Surface-area error |
orange | 2 in. | |||
Melon | 4 in. | |||
Beach ball | 7 in. |
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The tape error is
Calculation :
Consider L be the length of the circumference measured using tape measure.
Therefore the radius error is
For volume
Surface area error is
Now complete the table.
Sphere type | True radius | Tape error | Radius error | Surface-area error |
orange | 2 in. | |||
Melon | 4 in. | |||
Beach ball | 7 in. |
