Answer to Question 1

Possible sources of error are: inaccurate time measurements, having m1 and m2 not
exactly equal to each other, poor measurements of the height (d), friction in the
pulley system, badly calibrated riders, or string heavy enough to effect the results.

Answer to Question 2

The value of g would be less, because the ratio of d to t would be less, producing a
lower value for the acceleration measured and thus a lower experimental value for g.
