As pendulum clock gives correct time at ...

As pendulum clock gives correct time at the equator, Will it gain time or loose time as it is taken to the poles?

A

It will lose time

B

It will gain time

C

There will be no change

D

It will gain time on the north pole and lose time on the south pole

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

At the north pole, g will increase `(g_(p) gt g_(E ))`
`because T= 2pisqrt((l)/(g))`
T will decrease and hence it will go fast or it will gain time.
