Answer 10th plz
Dear student,
The period of oscillation (T) of a simple pendulum of length ℓ is given by
T = 2π√(ℓ/g)
Therefore, g = 4π2 ℓ/T2 so that the fractional error in g is given by
∆g/g = (∆ℓ/ℓ) + 2(∆T/T)
.
Here ∆ℓ = 0.1 cm and ∆T = 0.1 s
The percentage error is 100 times the fractional error so that
EI = ∆g/g = [(0.1/64) + 2(0.1/128)]×100 = 5/16 %,
EII = ∆g/g = [(0.1/64) + 2(0.1/64)]×100 = 15/32 % and
EIII = ∆g/g = [(0.1/20) + 2(0.1/36)]×100 = 19/18 %
Thus EI is minimum so that the correct option is (b).
