A pendulum clock with a pendulum made of invar (alpha = 0.7 xx 10^(-6) ""^(@) C^(-1)) has period of 0.5 s and is accurate at 25^(@) C .if the clock is used in a country where the temperature average 35^(@) C , what correction is necessary at the end of a month (30 days) to the time given by the clock–

Answer»

Solution : In time interval t, the clock will become slow by
`Delta t = (1)/(2) alpha t Delta THETA`
`= (1)/(2) XX 7 xx 10^(-7) xx 30 xx 86400 xx (35-25)`
`= 9.1 s`
