A sphere is being manufactured with a radius of 63 cm and a maximum possible error of 0.088 cm for the radius. Find the approximate error and the approximate relative error in the volume of the sphere. Give the relative error as a percent.

The differential is LaTeX:  \displaystyle dV = 4 \pi r^{2} . Evaluating at LaTeX:  \displaystyle r = 63 and LaTeX:  \displaystyle dr = 0.088 gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 1397.088 \pi . The relative error is given by LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{dV}{V} = \frac{4 \pi r^{2}}{\frac{4 \pi r^{3}}{3}}\,dr=\frac{3}{r}\,dr . Evaluating gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 0.00419 = 0.419 %
