The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by T=2πlg where l is about 100 cm and is known to have 1 mm accuracy. The period is about 2s. The time of 100 oscillations is measured by a stopwatch of least count 0.1 s. The percentage error in g is:

1. 0.1%

2. 1%

3. 0.2%

4. 0.8%

The mean time period of second's pendulum is 2.00s and mean absolute error in the time period is 0.05s. To express maximum estimate of error, the time period should be written as

(1) (2.00 ± 0.01) s

(2) (2.00 + 0.025) s

(3) (2.00 ± 0.05) s

(4) (2.00 ± 0.10) s
