Answer to Question #315876 in Calculus for Cazz

Question

You have carried out an experiment to investigate the effect of the length of a pendulum not he time period of oscillation. Theory says that the pendulum should follow the rule:

T=2pi squarerootL/g

T is time period (seconds)

L is length of pendulum (metre)

G is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2)

Calculate the expected percentage error in the time period calculation if your measurement is 2% high
