The energy of a system is given as $E(t) = \alpha^3 e^{-\beta t}$,where $t$ is the time and $\beta = 0.3 \ s^{-1}$. The errors in the measurement of $\alpha$ and $t$ are $1.2 \%$ and $1.6 \%$,respectively. At $t = 5 \ s$,the maximum percentage error in the energy is: (in $\%$)

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$. The measured value of the length of the pendulum is $10 \ cm$ known to a $1 \ mm$ accuracy. The time for $200$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $100 \ s$ using a clock of $1 \ s$ resolution. The percentage accuracy in the determination of $g$ using this pendulum is $x$. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is ...........$\%$

The percentage error in the measurement of $g$ is $.....\%$ (Given that $g = \frac{4 \pi^2 L}{T^2}$,$L = (10 \pm 0.1) \, cm$,$T = (100 \pm 1) \, s$)
