Please show all the steps and the equation required in each situation.
1.2 Let us assume that we are to determine the volume of a spherical ball bearing. After of the radius is
found to be (9.53± 0.05) mm.
(a) What is the volume of then ball bearing? (V="r*)
(b) What is the error in volume?
(c) How many significant figures should this volume (value) have?
(d) Write down the volume in more appropriate units
