The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is \(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{ g }} .\) Measured value of \( L \) is \(1.0\, m\) from meter scale having a minimum division of \(1 \,mm\) and time of one complete oscillation is \(1.95\, s\) measured from stopwatch of \(0.01 \,s\) resolution. The percentage error in the determination of \(g\) will be ..... \(\%.\)

  1. A \(1.13\)
  2. B \(1.03\)
  3. C \(1.33\)
  4. D \(1.30\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.13\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}\) \(g =\frac{4 \pi^{2} \ell}{ T ^{2}}\) \(\frac{\Delta g }{ g }=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+\frac{2 \Delta T }{ T }\) \(\frac{\Delta g }{ g }=\frac{1 \times 10^{-3}}{1}+2 \times \frac{0.01}{1.95}\) \(\frac{\Delta g }{ g }=0.0113\) or \(1.13\, \%\)
