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.

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)

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 clock is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its simple pendulum has a period of exactly 1.000 s. The pendulum bob has length L = 0.2480 m and, instead of keeping perfect time, the clock runs slow by 1.502 minutes per day. 1. What is the free-fall acceleration (in m/s2) at the clock's location? (Give your answer to at least 3 decimal places.) 2. What length of pendulum bob (in m) is required for the clock to...

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...

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius 25 cm and mass 1.9 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...

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...
