Problem 3. Acceleration due to gravity. The distance covered by a body dropped from a height d with respect to the ground with constant acceleration g depends on time t as d = gt. Suppose the distance covered is (1.00 ± 0.04) m in time (0.452 + 0.008) s. (a) Derive the equation for dg. (b) Numerically calculate the acceleration due to gravity in the form g = go ± dg.
