A grandfather clock is based on a pendulum. If the length of the pendulum of a clock is adjusted such that it is 30.0% longer (L2=1.3L1), how much slower/faster will the longer clock be?

A. The clock with pendulum length L2 will run 30.0% faster (have a shorter period).

B. The clock with pendulum length L2 will run 14.0% slower (have a longer period).   

C. The clock with pendulum length L2 will run 30.0% slower (have a longer period).

D. The clocks will keep the same time.

E. The clock with pendulum length L2 will run 14.0% faster (have a shorter period).

Answer #1

Time period of the pendulum is given by

When the length is in reased by 30 % then the new time period is

Therefore, the new time period will be longer by 14 %.

The correct option is (B) The clock with pendulum length L2 will run 14.0% slower (have a longer period).

1. Suppose that a grandfather clock (a simple pendulum) is running slowly; that is, the time it takes to complete each cycle is greater than it should be. You should shorten the pendulum to make the clock keep correct time. True or False? 2. In principle, the motions of a simple pendulum and an object (oscillating) on an ideal spring can both be used to provide the basic time interval or period used in a clock. Which of the two...

A grandfather clock is based on the period of oscillation of a pendulum. The clock keeps perfect time on the first floor of the Sears tower but when carefully moved to the top floor h=436 m above the surface of the earth, the clock is found to be slow. (a) What is the reason for this? (b) How many seconds does the clock loose in one day on the top floor? (The radius of the earth is R=6.37. 106 m)

your grandfather clock's pendulum was a length of 0.9930 m. If the clock runs slow and loses 24 s per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum? Note: due to the precise nature of this problem you must treat the constant g as unknown (that is, do not assume it is equal to exactly 9.80 m/s2). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value in case of increasing length of...

The 1.5-m-long brass pendulum of a grandfather clock was manufactured on a day when the temperature was 27°C. The coefficient of linear expansion for brass is 19 ? 10?6/°C. (a) What would the length be if the temperature were to increase to 31.0°C? (Give your answer to at least 4 decimal places.) m (b) Will the clock gain or lose time due to the change in length of the pendulum? gain time lose time neither gain nor lose time

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius 21 cm and mass 1 kg that is attached to a long, thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. (a) What should the length...
