A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate g, the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are e₁ and e₂ respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of g is - VgyanHub
