The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$,where $l$ is about $100 \, cm$ and is known to have $1 \, mm$ accuracy. The period is about $2 \, s$. The time of $100$ oscillations is measured by a stopwatch of least count $0.1 \, s$. The percentage error in $g$ is ......... $\%$

In five successive measurements, the mass of a ball is measured to be $2.61 \,g, 2.58 \,g, 2.40 \,g, 2.73 \,g$ and $2.80 \,g$. The mean absolute error in the measurement is (in $\,g$)

Using the expression $2 d \sin \theta = \lambda$,one calculates the values of $d$ by measuring the corresponding angles $\theta$ in the range $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. The wavelength $\lambda$ is exactly known and the error in $\theta$ is constant for all values of $\theta$. As $\theta$ increases from $0^{\circ}$:

Resistance of a given wire is obtained by measuring the current flowing in it and the voltage difference applied across it. If the percentage errors in the measurement of the current and the voltage difference are $3\%$ each,then the error in the value of resistance of the wire is ........ $\%$
