Will a pendulum clock lose or gain time when taken to the top of a mountain?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a pendulum clock will lose or gain time when taken to the top of a mountain, we can analyze the relationship between the time period of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity (G). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Time Period of a Pendulum**: The time period (T) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} ...
