You are to design a spherical tank to hold water. The volume of the liquid it can hold can be calculated as, V = nh² (3R – h)/3 Where V is the volume in ft’, h is the depth of the water (ft.) and R is the radius (ft.). If R=10 ft, what depth must the tank be filled to hold 1000 ft³ of water ? Find the most efficient method using three iterations. Use initial guess of 0 and R. R

1. In calibrating a 10-mL pipet, a measured volume of water was transferred to a tared flask and weighed, yielding a mass of 9.9814 g. (a) Calculate, with and without correcting for buoyancy, the volume of water delivered by the pipet. Assume that the density of water is 0.99707 g/cm3 and that the density of the weights is 8.40 g/cm3. (b) What are the absolute and relative errors introduced by failing to account for the effect of buoyancy? Is this a significant source of determinate error for the calibration of a pipet? Explain. 2. Repeat the questions in problem 1 for the case when a mass of 0.2500 g is measured for a solid that has a density of 2.50 g/cm3. 3. Is the failure to correct for buoyancy a constant or proportional source of determinate error?
