The least count of stopwatch is 0.2s.The time of 20 oscillations of a pendulum was measured to be 25s.Find the percentage error in the measurement of time​

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.8%

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of oscillations; n = 20

Time taken; t = 25 s

Formula for period of oscillation;

T = t/n = 25/20 = 1.25 s

We are told that the least count is 0.2 s. Thus, error is; ΔT = 0.2 s

percentage error in the measurement of time is given by;

(0.2/(20 × 1.25)) × 100% = 0.8%
