Q4

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Time period of a simple pendulum is longer at the top of a mountain than that at the base of the mountain.
Reason (R): Time period of a simple pendulum decreases with increasing value of acceleration due to gravity and vice-versa.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Q5

The measured value of the length of a simple pendulum is \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) with \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\) accuracy. The time for 50 oscillations was measured to be 40 seconds with 1 second resolution. From these measurements, the accuracy in the measurement of acceleration due to gravity is \(\mathrm{N} \%\). The value of \(\mathrm{N}\) is:
