JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 1. units,dimensions and measurement
An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity \(g\) by using a simple pendulum of length \(L\). In this experiment time for \(100\, oscillations\) is measured by using a watch of \(1\, second\) least count and the value is \(90.0\, seconds\). The length \(L\) is measured by using a meter scale of least count \(1\, mm\) and the value is \(20.0\, cm\). The error in the determination of \(g\) would be ........... \(\%\)
- A \(1.7\)
- B \(2.7\)
- C \(4.4\)
- D \(2.27\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2.7\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Here, \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\) or \(T^{2}=4 \pi^{2}(L / g)\) So, \(g=\frac{4 \pi^{2} L}{T^{2}}\) Thus, \(\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta L}{L}+2 \frac{\Delta T}{T}\) % error in \(g=\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100\)…
