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:

The International Avogadro Coordination project created the world's most perfect sphere using Silicon in its crystalline form. The diameter of the sphere is $9.4 \,cm$ with an uncertainty of $0.2 \,nm$. The atoms in the crystals are packed in cubes of side $a$. The side is measured with a relative error of $2 \times 10^{-9}$,and each cube has $8$ atoms in it. Then,the relative error in the mass of the sphere is closest to (assume molar mass of Silicon and Avogadro's number to be known precisely)

$A$ person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time interval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $\delta T = 0.01 \ s$ and he measures the depth of the well to be $L = 20 \ m$. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and the velocity of sound $v = 300 \ ms^{-1}$. Then the fractional error in the measurement,$\delta L / L$,is closest to: (in $\%$)
