The measured value of the length of a simple pendulum is 20 cm with 2 mm accuracy. The time for 50 oscillations was measured to be 40 seconds with 1 second resolution. From these measurements, the accuracy in the measurement of acceleration due to gravity is N%. The value of N is:
- 6
- 5
- 4
- 8
Answer
(1) 6
Solution
T=2 lg g= 4 2lT2
gg= ll+2 tt (T= t50, same fractional error)
= 0.220+2 140=0.01+0.05=0.06
N = 6
Answer: (1)
