Q1 a) Find the value of g and its uncertainty T=2 𝜋√𝑔 from the
following measurements made during an experiment.
𝑙=100cm, time for 20 vibrations=40.2 s. Length was measured by a
meter scale of accuracy upto 1mm and time by stop watch of
accuracy upto 0.1s.

moving in a circle of radius r with uniform speed v is proportional to
some power of r, say rn, and some power of v, say vm, determine the
powers of r an v?
