A student performs an experiment an for determination of `g(=(4pi^(2)l)/(T^(2)))`. The error in length `l` is `Deltal` and in time `T` is `DeltaT and n` is number of times the reading is taken. The measurment of `g` is most accurate for

A

(a) `Deltal = 5mm, Delta =0.2sec, n = 10`

B

(b) `Deltal = 5mm, Delta =0.2sec, n = 20`

C

( c ) `Deltal = 5mm, Delta =0.1sec, n = 10`

D

( d ) `Deltal = 1mm, Delta =0.1sec, n = 50`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) `(Deltag)/(g) = (Deltal)/(l)+2(DeltaT)/(T)`
`Deltal and DeltaT` least and number of reading are maximum in option (d), therefore the measurement of `g` is most accurate with data used in this option.

Three students S_1, S_2 and S_3 perform an experiment for determining the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of pendulum and record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are as shown in the table.
