Two intervals of time are measured as $\Delta t_1 = (2.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$ and $\Delta t_2 = (4.00 \pm 0.02) \ s$. The value of $\sqrt{(\Delta t_1)(\Delta t_2)}$ with correct significant figures and error is

  • A
    $(2.828 \pm 0.01) \ s$
  • B
    $(2.83 \pm 0.01) \ s$
  • C
    $(2.828 \pm 0.0075) \ s$
  • D
    $(2.83 \pm 0.0075) \ s$

$A$ student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body,initially at rest,in a given time. He uses this data to estimate $g$,the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $e_1$ and $e_2$ respectively,the percentage error in the estimation of $g$ is:
