3. A 200-litre drum (known as a 55-gallon drum in the United States and a 44-gallon drum in the United Kingdom) is a cylindrical container with a nominal capacity of 200 liters. The exact capacity varies by manufacturer, purpose, or other factors. Standard drums from one manufacturer have inside dimensions of 57.2 cm +/-0.4 cm for the diameter and 85.1 cm +/-0.3cm for the height. (a) Compare the calculated volume with the nominal capacity. Round to the nearest thousandth of a liter. (1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters) (b) Estimate the maximum and relative errors in calculating the volume with the given measurements. The volume of a right circular cylinder is V=rh.
