The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by \(T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\) where \(l\) is about \(100~\text{cm}\) and is known to have \(1~\text{mm}\) accuracy. The period is about \(2~\text{s}\). The time of \(100\) oscillations is measured by a stopwatch of least count \(0.1~\text{s}\). The percentage error in \(g\) is:
1. \(0.1\%\)
2. \(1\%\)
3. \(0.2\%\)
4. \(0.8\%\)
