Hey Im having some trouble with differentials, i was wondering if anyone could help me with the problem below.

In a manufacturing process, ball bearings must be made with radius of 0.4 mm, with a maximum error in the radius of (plus or minus)0.015 mm. Estimate the maximum error in the volume of the ball bearing.

Solution: The formula for the volume of the sphere is ____________ (choice between 4/3r^2Pi , 4r^3Pi , 4/3r^3Pi , or 4r^2Pi). If an error(delta r) is made in measuring the radius of the sphere, the maximum error in the volume is (delta)V = ___________________ ( choice between 4/3(r+Delta(r))^2Pi-4/3r^2Pi, or 4(r+Delta(r))^3Pi-4r^3Pi, or 4/3(r+Delta(r))^3Pi-4/3r^3Pi, or 4(r+Delta(r))^2Pi-4r^2Pi).

Rather than calculating (delta)V, approximate (delta)V with dV, where dV= ___________________ (choice between 8/3rPidr , or 12r^2Pidr , or 4r^2Pidr , or 8rPidr).

Replacing r with ___________ and dr = (delta)r with (plus or minus) ___________ gives dV = (plus or minus) ___________________.

The maximum error in the volume is about ____________ mm^3


Thanks for the help!
 
\(\displaystyle Volume(r) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)

\(\displaystyle d[Volume(r)] = 4\pi r^{2} dr\)

You are given:

r = 0.4 mm
dr = 0.015 mm

Substitute and make a conclusion.
