(7 points) A simple pendulum experiment is designed to measure the gravitational
acceleration g. The simple pendulum consists of a rigid bob and an inelastic string as
shown below. When the rotational angle \theta is kept small, the gravitational acceleration
g=(4\pi ^(2)L)/(T^(2)), where L is the length of the string and T is the period of oscillation of the
pendulum. The length of the string is measured using a ruler, it is 0.96 m with an
uncertainty of +-0.01m. The period of oscillation T is measured using a stopwatch, it is
1.95s with an uncertainty of +-0.05s. U_(TT)
Find the nominal value and the propagated uncertainty in the estimated
gravitational acceleration g.
g=(4\pi ^(2)L)/(T^(2))
L_(5hy)=0,96m+-0.00m
T=1.95s+-0.05s
U_(g)=\sqrt(((dely)/(\gamma _(1)))^(2)v_(2)+((del_(1))/(delr_(2)))^(2))
