In an experiment to determine acceleration due to gravity, the length of the pendulum is measured as 98 cm be a scale of least count of 1 cm. The period of swing/oscillations is measured with the help of a stop watch having a least count of 1s. The time period of 50 oscillation is found to be 98 s. Express value of g with proper error limits.

To determine the acceleration due to gravity (g) using the pendulum method, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Time Period of One Oscillation We are given that the time for 50 oscillations is 98 seconds. To find the time period (T) for one oscillation, we use the formula: \[ T = \frac{\text{Total Time}}{\text{Number of Oscillations}} \] \[ T = \frac{98 \, \text{s}}{50} = 1.96 \, \text{s} \] ### Step 2: Use the Formula for the Period of a Pendulum ...
