In a simple pendulum experiment for determination of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$, time taken for $20$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1\, second$ least count. The mean value of time taken comes out to be $30\,s$. The length of pendulum is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1\, mm$ and the value obtained is $55.0\, cm$. The percentage error in the determination of $g$ is close to ........... $\%$
$0.7$
$3.5$
$6.8$
$0.2$
Accuracy of measurement is determined by
The least count of a stop watch is $0.2\, second$. The time of $20\, oscillations$ of a pendulum is measured to be $25\, second$. The percentage error in the measurement of time will be ........ $\%$
The radius of a sphere is $(5.3 \pm 0.1) \,cm$. The percentage error in its volume is
Following observations were taken with a vernier callipers while measuring the length of a cylinder
$3.29 \,cm, 3.28\, cm, 3.29 \,cm, 3.31 \,cm,$ $ 3.28\, cm, 3.27 \,cm, 3.29 \,cm, 3.30\, cm$
Then find Absolute error in forth and eighth observation
A scientist performs an experiment in order to measure a certain physical quantity and takes $100$ observations. He repeats the same experiment and takes $400$ observations. By doing so,
