The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{ L }{ g }} .$ Measured value of $ L $ is $1.0\, m$ from meter scale having a minimum division of $1 \,mm$ and time of one complete oscillation is $1.95\, s$ measured from stopwatch of $0.01 \,s$ resolution. The percentage error in the determination of $g$ will be ..... $\%.$
