The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ where $l$ is about $80\text{ cm}$ and is known to have $0.1\text{ cm}$ accuracy. The period is about $1.5\text{ s}$. The time of $50$ oscillations is measured by a stop watch of least count $0.1\text{ s}$. The percentage error in $g$ is nearly
