Expert Solution
Step 1

(given)

Radius of the sphere = 6.30 cm = 6.30×10-2 m

Uncertainty in the radius δr = 0.30 cm = 0.30×10-2 m

Mass of the sphere = 1.74 kg

Uncertainty in the mass δm = 0.05 kg

Density of a substance is

Density =MassVolume

And Volume of a sphere is

V=43πr3

 r is the radius of the sphere.

Now, 

V=43×3.14×6.30×10-2 m3   =1.05×10-3 m3
