    Answer:

    The percent uncertainty in the volume   \frac{\delta V}{V}  * 100 = 14.286\%

    Explanation:

    From the question we are told that

       The radius is  r =  0.84 \pm  0.04 \  m

    From the given value

       The  uncertainty of  radius  is  \delta  r  =  0.04

       Generally the volume of a spherical beach ball is mathematically represented as

             V  =  \frac{4\pi }{3}* r^3

    Now taking the log of both sides

             log  V  =  log [\frac{4\pi}{3} ] *  r^3

    =>    log  V  =  log [\frac{4\pi}{3} ] + log(  r^3)

    =>    log  V  =  log [\frac{4\pi}{3} ] + 3log(  r)

    Differentiating both sides

            \frac{1}{V} \delta V = 0 + 3 [\frac{1}{r} ] \  \delta r

    Now converting them to percentage by multiplying by 100

             \frac{\delta V}{V}  * 100 =  [\frac{ 3 \delta r }{r} ] \  * 100

    =>      \frac{\delta V}{V}  * 100 =  [\frac{ 3  *  0.04 }{ 0.84} ] \  * 100

    =>      \frac{\delta V}{V}  * 100 = 14.286\%
