An accurate pendulum clock is mounted on ground floor of a high building. How much time will it lose or gain in one day if its is transferred to top storey of a building which is h = 200m higher than the ground floor? Radius of earth is `6.4 xx 10^(6)`

loses 8640 s

gains 4.32 s

loses 8.64 s

gains 8.64 s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Pendulum loses time perday at height h is,
`=13.6h`
`=13.6xx0.640=8.64s`.
