A wall clock uses a vertical spring mass system to measure the time. Each time the mass reaches an extrem position, the clock advances by a second. The clock gives correct time at the equator. If the clock is taken to the poles it will

A

run slow

B

run fast

C

stop working

D

give correct time

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

If it gives correct time at equator, it will give correct time at poles also because the time period of spring-mass system is independent of g.
