Question

For determination of ‘g' using simple pendulum, measurements of length and time period are required. error in the measurement of which quantity will have larger effect on the value of ‘g' thus obtained. what is done to minimise this error?

Answer 1

Hi.for calculation of the g using simple pendulum error in measurement of length affect largely because length is directly proportional to g .hence for pendulum length calculation we should be add length of string of pendulum and radius of Bob which is attached to the end of string.
