In an experiment of a simple pendulum,the errors in the measurement of the length of the pendulum $(L)$ and time period $(T)$ are $3 \%$ and $2 \%$,respectively. The maximum percentage error in the value of $\frac{L}{T^2}$ is (in $\%$)

$A$ balance is made using a uniform metre scale of mass $100 \ g$ and two plates each of mass $200 \ g$ fixed at the two ends of the scale. The balance is pivoted at the $45 \ cm$ mark. If a $300 \ g$ weight is placed in the plate at $0 \ cm$ to weigh vegetables placed in the plate at $100 \ cm$, what is the error in the measurement (in $g$)?

The acceleration due to gravity is found up to an accuracy of $4\,\%$ on a planet.
