Dear student,We know, time vperiod is in direct ratio to the square root of the length.So length increase of 0.5% means an increase by a factor of 1.005The period will increase by a factor of sqrt(1.005) = 1.0024So percentage increase in time period= (1.0024-1)*100=0.25% Thanks,Soumya Ranjan Mohanty.
