When a pendulum clock gains time, what adjustiment should be made?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of a pendulum clock that gains time, we need to understand the relationship between the pendulum's frequency and its period, as well as how to adjust the pendulum to correct the timekeeping. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: - A pendulum clock gaining time means it is completing its oscillations faster than it should. This indicates that the frequency of the pendulum's vibrations has increased. 2. **Identify the Formula**: ...
