Maximum Possible Percentage Error
Maximum Possible Percentage Error
This method calculates the maximum possible error in the value of 'g' by considering the uncertainties in length and time measurements.
Percentage Error Formula
Percentage Error Formula
The formula used to calculate the maximum possible percentage error in the value of 'g' using a simple pendulum.
Percentage Error from Experimental Data
Percentage Error from Experimental Data
This method calculates the percentage error based on the difference between the experimentally determined value 'g' and the known, accepted value of 'g'.
