The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is Measured value of L is 20 cm known to 1mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 90 s using a wrist-watch of 1 s resolution. The accuracy in the determination of g is
Given,
or
Hence,
The errors in both L and t are the least count errors. Therefore,
The percentage error in g is
