The percentage error in the measurement of gg is: (Given, g=4π2LT2g=\frac{4\pi^2L}{T^2}, L=(10±0.1) cmL=(10\pm0.1)\text{ cm}, T=(100±1) sT=(100\pm1)\text{ s})

A

2%2\%

B

5%5\%

C

3%3\%

D

7%7\%

Step-by-Step Solution

Given, g=4π2LT2g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2} L=10 cmL = 10 \text{ cm}, ΔL=0.1 cm\Delta L = 0.1 \text{ cm} T=100 sT = 100 \text{ s}, ΔT=1 s\Delta T = 1 \text{ s}

The formula for the relative error in gg is: Δgg=ΔLL+2ΔTT\frac{\Delta g}{g} = \frac{\Delta L}{L} + 2\frac{\Delta T}{T}

To find the percentage error, we multiply by 100: Δgg×100=(ΔLL+2ΔTT)×100\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100 = \left( \frac{\Delta L}{L} + 2\frac{\Delta T}{T} \right) \times 100 Δgg×100=(0.110+2×1100)×100\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100 = \left( \frac{0.1}{10} + 2 \times \frac{1}{100} \right) \times 100 Δgg×100=(1100+2100)×100\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100 = \left( \frac{1}{100} + \frac{2}{100} \right) \times 100 Δgg×100=(3100)×100=3%\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100 = \left( \frac{3}{100} \right) \times 100 = 3\%

Therefore, the percentage error in the measurement of gg is 3%3\%.
