An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment time for $100\, oscillations$ is measured by using a watch of $1\, second$ least count and the value is $90.0\, seconds$. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1\, mm$ and the value is $20.0\, cm$. The  error in the determination of $g$ would be  ........... $\%$
  • A$1.7$
  • B$2.7$
  • C$4.4$
  • D$2.27$

    In an experiment of determine the Young's modulus of wire of a length exactly $1\; m$, the extension in the length of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.02\,mm$ when a load of $1\,kg$ is applied. The diameter of the wire is measured as $0.4\,mm$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.01\,mm$. The error in the measurement of Young's modulus $(\Delta Y)$ is found to be $x \times 10^{10}\,Nm ^{-2}$. The value of $x$ is
