In the expression for time period $T$ of simple pendulum $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$, if the percentage error in time period $T$ and length $l$ are $2 \%$ and $2 \%$ respectively then percentage error in acceleration due to gravity $g$ is equal to ......... $\%$

A

$8$

B

$2$

C

$4$

D

$6$

Solution

$\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{\mathrm{g}}}$

$\mathrm{T}^{2}=4 \pi^{2} \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{g}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{g}=4 \pi^{2} \frac{\ell}{\mathrm{T}^{2}}$

$\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}+\frac{2 \Delta T}{T}$

$\frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \times 100+\frac{2 \Delta T}{T} \times 100$
