In an experiment to find acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum,the time period of $0.5 \ s$ is measured from the time of $100$ oscillations with a watch of $1 \ s$ resolution. If the measured value of length is $10 \ cm$ known to $1 \ mm$ accuracy,the accuracy in the determination of $g$ is found to be $x \%$. The value of $x$ is:
