Q38.

The determination of the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ by simple pendulum method employs the formula,
  $g=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{T^2}$
The expression for the relative error in the value of $g$ is:

  • $\dfrac{\Delta g}{g}=\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}+2\Big(\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}\Big)$
  • $\dfrac{\Delta g}{g}=4\pi^2\Big[\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}-2\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}\Big]$
  • $\dfrac{\Delta g}{g}=4\pi^2\Big[\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}+2\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}\Big]$
  • $\dfrac{\Delta g}{g}=\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}-2\Big(\dfrac{\Delta T}{T}\Big)$
