    The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}.\]Measured value of L is 20.0 cm known to 1 mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 90 s using a wrist watch of 1s resolution. The accuracy in the determination of g is : [JEE Main Solved Paper-2015 ]

    A) 1%                                         

    B) 5%

    C) 2%                                         

    D) 3%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\] \[\frac{t}{n}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\] \[\frac{{{t}^{2}}}{{{n}^{2}}}=4{{\pi }^{2}}\frac{L}{g}\] \[g=\frac{4\pi {{L}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}}{{{t}^{2}}}\] \[\ln g=\ln 4\pi {{n}^{2}}+2\ln L-2\ln t\] \[\frac{dg}{g}=\frac{2\pi L}{L}-2\frac{dt}{t}\] \[\frac{dg}{g}\times 100=2\times \frac{0.1}{20}\times 100+2\frac{1}{90}\times 100=1+\frac{20}{9}\simeq 3%\]
