    Calculating Percent Uncertainty for Volume of a Beach Ball

    ok... so since I cube the radius, I multiply the % error by 3... ah. and that gives me 9%. You are a genius. Why must physics profs supply us with pages and pages of calculations when you can solve a problem like THAT instead... Thanks :)

    Calculating Percent Uncertainty for Volume of a Beach Ball

    hi, I'm attempting a physics problem... it is: What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is r= 2.86 plus or minus 0.09 m. Now, I tried to find the percent uncertainty by just doing .09/2.86, but I'm assuming I need to do something with the...
