A pendulum clock gives correct time at 2...

A pendulum clock gives correct time at `20^@C`at a place where `g=9.800 m s^(-2)`.The pendulum consists of a light steel rod connected to a heavy ball. It is taken to a different place where `g=9.788 m s^(-2)`. At what temperature will it give correct time ? coefficient of linear expansion of steel `= 12 xx 10^(-6)C^(-1)`.
