In an experiment to find acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum,the time period of $0.5 \ s$ is measured from the time of $100$ oscillations with a watch of $1 \ s$ resolution. If the measured value of length is $10 \ cm$ known to $1 \ mm$ accuracy,the accuracy in the determination of $g$ is found to be $x \%$. The value of $x$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $2$

$A$ student performs an experiment for the determination of $g = \frac{4 \pi^{2} \ell}{T^{2}}$. Given $\ell = 1 \, m$,the student commits an error of $\Delta \ell$.
