The period of an oscillating simple pendulum is $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$,where the length $\ell = 100 \text{ cm}$ with an error of $1 \text{ mm}$. The period $T = 2 \text{ s}$. The time for $100$ oscillations is measured by a stopwatch with a least count of $0.1 \text{ s}$. The percentage error in the gravitational acceleration $g$ is: (in $\%$)
