How much time is lost in a year?
The pendulum in a grandfather clock is made of brass and keeps perfect time at 17 degrees Celcius. How much time is gained or loss in a year if the clock is kept at 29 degrees Celcius? (Assume the frequency dependence on length for a simple pendulum applies.
When the length L of aclock pendulum is held constant by controlling its temperature,the pendulum’s period T depends on the acceleration of gravity g.The period will therefore vary slightly as the clock is moved fromplace to place on Earth’s surface, depending on the change in g.By keeping track of DELTA T, we can estimate the variation in g fromthe equation T = 2π(L/g)1/2 that relates T, g, and L. A clock with a 100-cm pendulum is moved from a location where g = 980 cm/sec2 to a new location. This increases the period by dT = 0.001 sec. Find dg and estimate the value of g at the new location.
