Q1 Single Correct Hard
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}$. Length of the pendulum is about $10\ cm$ and is measured with accuracy of $1\ mm$. The period of oscillation is about $0.5\ sec$. The time of $100$ oscillations is measured with a wristwatch of $1\ sec$ resolution. The unavoidable percentage error in determination of $g$ from the above given data is :
• A. $5\%$
• B. $10\%$
• C. $2\%$
• D. $8\%$
