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 $\displaystyle g$, the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $\displaystyle e_1$ and $\displaystyle e_2$ respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of $\displaystyle g$ is
Official answer
(2)
$\displaystyle e_1+2 e_2$
