The time period of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$. The measured value of the length of the pendulum is $10 \ cm$ known to a $1 \ mm$ accuracy. The time for $200$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $100 \ s$ using a clock of $1 \ s$ resolution. The percentage accuracy in the determination of $g$ using this pendulum is $x$. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is ...........$\%$
