The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum in an experiment is recorded as $2.63\, s, 2.56\, s, 2.42\, s, 2.71\, s$,and $2.80\, s$ respectively. The average absolute error is ......... $s$.

Students $A, B$ and $C$ measure the length of a room using a $25 \,m$ long measuring tape of least count $0.5 \,cm$,a meter-scale of least count $0.1 \,cm$,and a foot-scale of least count $0.05 \,cm$,respectively. If the actual length of the room is $9.5 \,m$,which of the following students will report the lowest relative error in the measured length?

Time for $20$ oscillations of a pendulum is measured as $t_1 = 39.6\, s$,$t_2 = 39.9\, s$,and $t_3 = 39.5\, s$. What is the precision in the measurements? What is the accuracy of the measurement?

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

The resistance $R = \frac{V}{I}$,where $V = 100 \pm 5 \, \text{volts}$ and $I = 10 \pm 0.2 \, \text{amperes}$. What is the total percentage error in $R$?

What is the error in measurement done by any instrument?
