The periodic time of simple pendulum is T=2pi sqrt((l)/(g)). The length (l) of the pendulum is about 100 cm measured with 1mm accuracy. The periodic time is about 2s. When 100 oscillations are measured by a stop watch having the least count 0.1 second. Calcaulte the percentage error in measurement of g. |
