Question Number 24032 by Tinkutara last updated on 11/Nov/17

A hemispherical bowl of radius R = 0.1  m is rotating about its own axis (which  is vertical) with an angular velocity ω.  A particle of mass 10^(−2)  kg on the  frictionless inner surface of the bowl is  also rotating with the same ω. The  particle is at a height h from the bottom  of the bowl.  It is desired to measure g (acceleration  due to gravity) using the set up by  measuring h accurately. Assuming  that R and ω are known precisely and  that the least count in the measurement  of h is 10^(−4)  m, what is the minimum  possible error Δg in the measured value  of g?

Thank you very much Sir!  But why − in ω^2 Δh? Errors are always  + and added.

when you draw with this app do you  use your hand or a stylus pen?    i′m asking because i try to use it  with my hands but my drawings are  not as nice as the ones i see you  post here.

dont have stylus , i draw with  finger after necessary zoom  using Handraw.

this implies that if measured  h is little greater than true  value, then calculated g will be  less than the true value..
