What is the fractional error in $g$ calculated from $T = 2\pi \sqrt {l/g} $ ? Given fraction errors in $T$ and $l$ are $ \pm x$ and $ \pm y$ respectively?

A

$x + y$

B

$x -y$

C

$2x + y$

D

$2x -y$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l}
From\,T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{\ell }{g};} \,g = 4{\pi ^2}\frac{\ell }{{{T^2}}}\\
\frac{{\Delta g}}{g} = \frac{{\Delta \ell }}{\ell } + \frac{{2\Delta T}}{T} = \left( {y + 2x} \right)
\end{array}$
