In order to determine the Young's Modulus of a wire of radius $0.2\, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $=0.001\, cm )$ and length $1 \,m$ (measured using a scale of least count $=1\, mm$ ), a weight of mass $1\, kg$ (measured using a scale of least count $=1 \,g$ ) was hanged to get the elongation of $0.5\, cm$ (measured using a scale of least count $0.001\, cm$ ). What will be the fractional error in the value of Young's Modulus determined by this experiment? (in $\%$)

While measuring the acceleration due to gravity by a simple pendulum, a student makes a positive error of $1\%$ in the length of the pendulum and a negative error of $3\%$ in the value of time period. His percentage error in the measurement of $g$ by the relation $g = 4{\pi ^2}\left( {l/{T^2}} \right)$ will be  ........ $\%$
