A clock with an iron pendulum keeps correct time at `20^(@)C`. How much time will it lose or gain in a day if the temperature changes to `40^(@)C`. Thermal coefficient of liner expansion `alpha = 0.000012 per^(@)C`.A. `10.3`s/dayB. 19s/dayC. `5.5`s/dayD. `6.8`s/day |
Answer» Correct Answer - A `(Deltat)/(t)=(1)/(2)(DeltaL)/(2)=(1)/(2)alphaDeltatheta` `=(1)/(2)xx12xx10^(-6)xx(40^(@)-20^(@))=12xx10^(-5)` `Deltat=txx12xx10^(-5)=86400xx12xx10^(-5)=10.3s//day` |
