Question

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is T = . Measured value of L is 20.0 cm known to 1 mm  accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 90s using a wrist watch of 1s resolution. The accuracy in the determination of g is :

Options

A.1 %
B.5 %
C.2 %
D.3 %

Solution

T = 2π
g =


∴   × 100 = 2.722% ≈ 3%
