The period of oscillation of a simple pe...

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum in the experiment is recorded as `2.63s,2.56x,2.42x,2.71x` and 2.80s respectively. The average alsolute error is

A

0.1 s

B

0.11 s

C

0.01 s

D

1.0 s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Average time period
`=(2.63+2.56+2.42+2.71+2.80)/(5)`
`(13.12)/(5)=1.624=2.62s`
Average absoulte error
`=(0.01+0.06+0.20+0.09+0.18)/(5)=(0.54)/(5)`
`=0.108=0.11s`.
