In an experiment to measure

g

using a simple pendulum, the length is measured as

1.000\,\text{m}\,\pm\,0.002\,\text{m}

and the time taken for 50 complete oscillations is found to be

100.0\,\text{s}\,\pm\,0.2\,\text{s}

. (i) Calculate the value of

g

at the location. (ii) Estimate the percentage error in

g

arising from the stated uncertainties.
