The measured value of the length of a simple pendulum is $20 \ cm$ with $2 \ mm$ accuracy. The time for $50$ oscillations was measured to be $40 \ s$ with $1 \ s$ resolution. From these measurements,the accuracy in the measurement of acceleration due to gravity is $N \%$. The value of $N$ is:

$A$ balance is made using a uniform metre scale of mass $100 \ g$ and two plates each of mass $200 \ g$ fixed at the two ends of the scale. The balance is pivoted at the $45 \ cm$ mark. If a $300 \ g$ weight is placed in the plate at $0 \ cm$ to weigh vegetables placed in the plate at $100 \ cm$, what is the error in the measurement (in $g$)?
