The percentage error in the measurement of $g$ is $\left(\right.$ Given that $g=\frac{4 \pi^2…
- $2 \%$
- $5 \%$
- $3 \%$
- $7 \%$
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
g & =\frac{4 \pi^2 \mathrm{~L}}{\mathrm{~T}^2} \\
\mathrm{~L} & =(10 \pm 0.1) \mathrm{cm}, \text { and } \\
\mathrm{T} & =(100 \pm 1) \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}$
Hence, error in measurement of $g$ is
$\begin{aligned}
\frac{\Delta g}{g} & =\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}+2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{T}} \\
& =\frac{0.1}{10} \times 100+2 \times \frac{1}{100} \times 100 \\
& =3 \%
\end{aligned}$
