Question

Student I, II and III perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of the pendulum and/or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table
Least count for length = 0.1 cm.
Least count for time = 0.1 s.

If EI,EII and EIII are the percentage errors in g, i e comma blank open parentheses fraction numerator increment g over denominator g end fraction cross times 100 close parentheses comma for students I, II and III respectively.

  1. E subscript I end subscript equals 0    
  2. E subscript I end subscript is minimum    
  3. E subscript I end subscript equals E subscript I I end subscript    
  4. E subscript I I end subscript is maximum    

The correct answer is: E subscript I end subscript is minimum


    Time period T equals 2 pi square root of fraction numerator l over denominator g end fraction end root
    Or fraction numerator t over denominator n end fraction equals 2 pi square root of fraction numerator l over denominator g end fraction end root
    therefore blank g equals fraction numerator open parentheses 4 pi to the power of 2 end exponent close parentheses open parentheses n to the power of 2 end exponent close parentheses l over denominator t to the power of 2 end exponent end fraction
    percent sign e r r o r blank i n blank g equals fraction numerator increment g over denominator g end fraction cross times 100 equals open parentheses fraction numerator increment l over denominator l end fraction plus fraction numerator 2 increment t over denominator t end fraction close parentheses cross times 100
    E subscript I end subscript equals open parentheses fraction numerator 0.1 over denominator 64 end fraction plus fraction numerator 2 cross times 0.1 over denominator 128 end fraction close parentheses cross times 100 equals 0.3125 percent sign
    E subscript I I end subscript equals open parentheses fraction numerator 0.1 over denominator 64 end fraction plus fraction numerator 2 cross times 0.1 over denominator 64 end fraction close parentheses cross times 100 equals 0.46875 percent sign
    E subscript I I I end subscript equals open parentheses fraction numerator 0.1 over denominator 20 end fraction plus fraction numerator 2 cross times 0.1 over denominator 36 end fraction close parentheses cross times 100 equals 1.055 percent sign
    Hence, E subscript I end subscript is minimum.
