Acceleration due to gravity on the surfa...

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is `g = (GM)/(R^(2))`. The gravitational constant G is exacity known. But percentage error in measurement of the mass of earth `M` and radius of the earth `R` are `1%` and `2%`, respectively. The maximum percentage error in measurement of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is
