A pendulum clock and a wrist watch are taken from the earth's surface to a mountain. What will be the effect on their time periods at the mountain ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how the time periods of a pendulum clock and a wristwatch are affected when taken from the Earth's surface to a mountain, we can analyze each device separately. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Pendulum Clock:** - The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} ...
