(a) The function is .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
(relative error in
).
.
Percentage error .
Therefore, when the was increased by
, the period T was increased by
.
(b) Find the approximate error in this pendulum clock in one day.
\.
Therefore, in one day the pendulum clock is faster by minutes and
seconds than the correct time.
