A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire ,exactly 2 m long , by Searle's method .In a particular reading student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be 0.8 mm with an uncertainity of ±0.5 mm  at a load of exactly 1.0 kg . The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be 0.4 mm with an uncertainity of ± 0.01 mm .Take g=9.8 m s-2 (exact).The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is close to

Students I, II and III perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity (g) using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of the pendulum and/or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table. Least count for length =0.1cm. Least count for time =0.1s.
