Question

In a simple pendulum experiment for determination of acceleration due to gravity (g), time taken for 20 oscillations is measures by using a watch of 1 second least count. The mean value of time taken comes out to be 30 s. The length of the pendulum is measured by using a meter scale of least count 1 mm and the value obtained is 55.0 cm. The percentage error in the determination of g is close to
