The volume of a cone is given by V = ?r2h/3, where r is
Chapter 3, Problem 3E(choose chapter or problem)
The volume of a cone is given by \(V=\pi r^{2} h / 3\), where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. Assume the height is 6 cm, measured with negligible uncertainty, and the radius is \(r=5.00 \pm 0.02 \mathrm{~cm}\). Estimate the volume of the cone, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1of 3:
The volume of a cone is given by V= , where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. Here the height is 6 cm and the radius r = 5.00
0.02 cm. We have to find the volume of the cone and the uncertainty in the estimate.
