Physics · UNITS AND MEASUREMENT
हिन्दीIn a simple pendulum experiment, the percentage errors in the measurement of length \( L \) and time period \( T \) are \( 2\% \) and \( 1.5\% \) respectively. The maximum percentage error in the estimated value of acceleration due to gravity \( g \) is:
Correct answer · Option 2
\( 5.0\% \)
Explanation
From \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \implies g = 4\pi^2 \frac{L}{T^2} \). Max percentage error in \( g \) is \( \frac{\Delta g}{g}\% = \frac{\Delta L}{L}\% + 2\frac{\Delta T}{T}\% = 2\% + 2(1.5\%) = 5.0\% \).
