We measure the period of oscillation of a simple pendulam. In successive measurements, the reading is turn out to be 2.63, 2.56, 2.42, 2.71 and 2.80 seconds. calculate the absolute errors. Relative error or percentage error

Answer:
a1=2.63
a2=2.56
a3=2.42
a4=2.71
a5=2.80
avg a=2.624=2.62
delta a=absolute error in the measurements are=(2.63-2.62)=0.01
(2.56-2.62)=-0.06
(2.42-2.62)=-0.20
(2.71-2.62)=0.09
(2.80-2.62)=0.18
mean absolute errors=(0.01+0.06+0.09+0.20+0.18)/5=0.11
relative error=0.11/2.62=0.041
percentage error=4.1%
