The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} $ where $l$ is about $100 \,cm$ and is known to have $1\,mm$ accuracy. The period is about $2\,s$. The time of $100$ oscillations is measured by a stop watch of least count $0.1\, s$. The percentage error in $g$ is ......... $\%$

The International Avogadro Coordination project created the world's most perfect sphere using Silicon in its crystalline form. The diameter of the sphere is $9.4 \,cm$ with an uncertainty of $0.2 \,nm$. The atoms in the crystals are packed in cubes of side $a$. The side is measured with a relative error of $2 \times 10^{-9}$, and each cube has $8$ atoms in it. Then, the relative error in the mass of the sphere is closest to (assume molar mass of Silicon and Avogadro's number to be known precisely)
