Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 40P
An American golf ball is described in Problem 1.32 Assuming the measured mass and its uncertainty as given, determine the precision to which the diameter of the ball must be measured so the density of the ball may be estimated within an uncertainty of ±1 percent.
1.32 The mass of the standard American golf ball is l.62 ± 0.01 oz and its mean diameter is l.68 ± 0.01 in. Determine the density and specific gravity of the American golf ball. Estimate the uncertainties in the calculated values.

In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O.
(a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.
