Chapter 3, Problem 13

(choose chapter or problem)

The acceleration g due to gravity is estimated by dropping an object and measuring the time it takes to travel a certain distance. Assume the distance s is known to be exactly

\(2.2 \mathrm{~m}\). The time is measured to be \(t=0.67 \pm 0.02 \mathrm{~s}\). Estimate g, and find the relative uncertainty in the estimate. (Note that \(g=2 s / t^{2}\) .)
