Question
A person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time intgerval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $\delta T=0.01$ seconds and he measures the depth of the well to be $L=20$ meters. Take the acceleration due to gravity $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ and the velocityof sound is $300 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. Then the fractional error in the measurement, $\delta \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{L}$, is closest to
