c) In order to measure the density of a new developed material shaped in a (L=2, W=3, H=1) cm rectangular cuboid, which weights 250gm. The length was measured by a Verner caliber which has uncertainty of (±0.1% in mm), and the weight scale has +0.1gm uncertainty. Please calculate the density of the material in standard units, and find its uncertainty.
