cumulative, - 0.11 m
none of these

What is cumulative?

Your are right @Satya.

@Saurabh.

An error that increases with the size of the sample revealing it.

Slop error always +'ve and correction always equal to= - (h*h) /2L.

If higher powers neglected otherwise correction increases by (h^4/8L^3).

Cumulative (systematic) error may b +'ve or -ve.
