A students measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, the initially at rest, in a given time. He uses this data to estimate $g$ , the acceleration due to gravity . If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $e_1$ and $e_2$ respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of $g$ is
