The length of each side of a sugar cube is measured as 10 mm with an uncertainty of $\pm 2{\text{ mm}}$. Which of the following is the absolute uncertainty in the volume of the sugar cube?

A.     $\pm 6{\text{ m}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

B.     $\pm 8{\text{ m}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

C.     $\pm 400{\text{ m}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

D.     $\pm 600{\text{ m}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}$

A majority of candidates clearly had not translated the absolute uncertainties into percentages.
