Errors and uncertainties problem 8


In an experiment to determine the acceleration of free fall , the period of oscillation and length of a simple pendulum were measured. The uncertainty in the measurement of is estimated to be , and the uncertainty in the measurement of is estimated to be .


The value of is determined using the formula:




What is the uncertainty in the calculated value for g?
