The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T=2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $. Measured value of $L$ is $20.0\; cm$ known to $1\; mm$ accuracy and time for $100$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $90\ s$ using a wrist watch of $1\; s$ resolution. The accuracy in the determination of $g$ is   ........ $\%$
