In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity at a place a stop watch with a resolution of 0.2 s was used and total time for a certain number of oscillations was measured as 100.2s. Claculate the maximum error in the time period? If the percentage error in measuring the length of he pendulum is 0.3%, what is the percentage error in the value of g?
