Question:medium
In a simple pendulum experiment, the maximum percentage error in the measurement of length is 2% and that in the observation of the time-period is 3%. Then the maximum percentage error in determination of the acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is
In a simple pendulum experiment, the maximum percentage error in the measurement of length is 2% and that in the observation of the time-period is 3%. Then the maximum percentage error in determination of the acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is
Show Hint
Always multiply the percentage error of a quantity by the power it is raised to in the formula. Since \( T \) is squared in the denominator for \( g \), its error contribution is doubled.
