A pendulum clock keeps correct tiime at `30^(@)` latitude. If a is taken to poles, then

A

it keeps correct time

B

it gains time

C

it loses time

D

its period increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`g_(p) gt g_(E ) because T prop (1)/(sqrt(g)) therefore T` decreases.
Thus in one hour / day it will complete more oscillation. Hence it will gain time.
