The errors in the measurement of the effective length (`l`) and the time period (T) of a pendulum executing simple harmonic motion are 1% and 2% respectively. Estimate the error in the determination of acceleration due to gravity (g) using this pendulum. Given the relation among the relevant quantities, `T = 2pi sqrt((l)/(g)).`
