Homework Statement
In this experiment, the acceleration due to gravity is related to the time, t, it takes the ball to fall to a distance , y, by Eq. (3). With this equation and Eq. (2), show that the fractional error, ∆g/g is ( (∆y/y)^2 + (2∆t/t)^2 ) ^1/2
Homework Equations
Eq. (3) = g = 2y/t^2
Eq. (2) = ∆W/W = ( (n∆a/a)^2 + (m∆b/b)^2 + (p∆c/c)^2 ) ^1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
I am totally confused on how to do this problem. Could anyone help? Thanks!
