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 ........... $\%$.

$A$ physical quantity $Q$ is related to four observables $a, b, c, d$ as follows: $Q = \frac{ab^4}{cd}$,where $a = (60 \pm 3) \ Pa$,$b = (20 \pm 0.1) \ m$,$c = (40 \pm 0.2) \ Nsm^{-2}$,and $d = (50 \pm 0.1) \ m$. The percentage error in $Q$ is $\frac{x}{1000}$,where $x = $ . . . . . . .

$A$ certain body weighs $22.42 \; g$ and has a measured volume of $4.7 \; cc$. The possible errors in the measurement of mass and volume are $0.01 \; g$ and $0.1 \; cc$,respectively. Then the maximum percentage error in the density will be: (in $\%$)

Consider a series of measurements of the length of a box in an experiment. The readings are $2.4 \ m, 2.5 \ m, 2.6 \ m, 2.8 \ m, 3.0 \ m$. What would be the relative error?

The acceleration due to gravity is measured on the surface of the Earth by using a simple pendulum. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are relative errors in the measurement of length and time period respectively,then the percentage error in the measurement of acceleration due to gravity is:
