Physics And Measurement Question 164
Question: The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by where l is about 100 cm and is known to have 1mm accuracy. The period is about 2s. The time of 100 oscillations is measured by a stop watch of least count 0.1 s. The percentage error in g is
Options:
A) 0.1%
B) 1%
C) 0.2%
D) 0.8%
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Here % error in l =
and % error in T =
% error in g = % error in l + 2(% error in T)
