1. The time required for one complete oscillation of a pendulum is called its period. If

L

is

the length of the pendulum, then the period is given by

P = 2 L / g

, where

g

is a

constant called the acceleration due to gravity. Use differentials to show that the

percentage error in P is approximately half the percentage error in

L .
