If the maximum percentage error in the measurement of distance (h) and time ( t ) are ' \(e_1\) ' and ' \(e_2\) ' respectively, the percentage error in the measurement of acceleration of gravity ( g ) is [use \(\mathrm{h}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{gt}^2\) ]

  1. A \(e_1+e_2\)
  2. B \(e_1-2 e_2\)
  3. C \(e_2-e_1\)
  4. D \(e_1+2 e_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(e_1+2 e_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{h} = \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{gt}^2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{g} = \frac{2\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{t}^2} \) \( \frac{\Delta \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{g}} \times 100\% = \left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{h}} + 2\frac{\Delta \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}}\right) \times 100\% \)
