Time (sec)

Random Error analysis using the first 10 readings:

Mean time taken for five oscillations = sec

The standard deviation of the time data = sec

The standard deviation of the mean = sec

The correct estimate for T5 = ± sec

The correct estimate for T1 = ± sec

Random Error analysis using all the 50 readings:

Mean time taken for five oscillations = sec

The standard deviation of the time data = sec

 The standard deviation of the mean = sec

The correct estimate for T5 = ± sec

The correct estimate for T1 = ± sec

Acceleration due to gravity, g = m sec-2

Error in g, δg = g (δL/L + 2 δT/T) = m sec-2

Result : Part A
Value of acceleration due to gravity measured = ± m sec-2
