An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment,the time for $100$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1$ second least count,and the value is $90.0$ seconds. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1$ mm,and the value is $20.0$ cm. The error in the determination of $g$ would be ........... $\%$.

  • A
    $1.7$
  • B
    $2.7$
  • C
    $4.4$
  • D
    $2.27$

What is called as relative error? Define fractional error.

The relative density of the material of a body is found by weighing it first in air and then in water. If the weight in air is $(5.00 \pm 0.05) \ N$ and the weight in water is $(4.00 \pm 0.05) \ N$,then the relative density along with the maximum permissible percentage error is:
