\begin{aligned} & T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} \\ & g=\frac{1}{4 \pi^2 l} \frac{T^2}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta g}{T}= \frac{2 \Delta T}{T}+\frac{\Delta l}{l} \\ & \frac{\Delta g}{g}=2 \times \frac{1}{50 \times 0.3}+\frac{1 \mathrm{~mm}}{5 \mathrm{~cm}} \\ & =0.1533 \\ & \frac{\Delta g}{g} \times 100=15.33 \% . \end{aligned}
