The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is . 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 :
- A1.30%
- B1.33%
- C1.13%
- D1.03%

Correct answer: C
- Relation for
Given
Squaring,
So,
- Error propagation
For
The fractional error is
- Error in length measurement
Measured length:
Minimum division of meter scale:
So,
Hence,
- Error in time measurement
Measured time period:
Stopwatch resolution:
Thus,
So,
- Total percentage error in
In percentage,
- Option check
The percentage error is closest to:
So the correct option is C.
