Question

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $\mathrm { T } = 2 \pi \sqrt { \frac { \mathrm { L } } { \mathrm { g } } }$ . Measured value of L is 10 cm know to 1 mm accuracy and time for 100 oscillations of the pendulum is found to be 50 s using a wrist watch of 1 s resolution. What is the accuracy in the determination of g?
