Question

Problem 4

Answer 1

Given information

Given:

The pendulum clock is accurate at sea level, will it gain or lose time when taken to a high altitude.

Formula used:

One oscillation equals one second in the pendulum clock. As a result, we must examine the pendulum's time formula and calculate what will happen if it is moved to a greater height.

 

Where,

Time period of pendulum=  

Length of string=  

Accelerating due to gravity=  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for it to swing from one extreme to the other and return to its initial position. If you transport a pendulum to space where there is no gravity, it will not oscillate, and the period will eventually be limitless. It signifies that after an indefinite amount of time, one oscillation will be completed.
