To solve the problem of how much time a second's pendulum clock loses or gains in one week when the temperature increases from 20°C to 30°C, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the problem A second's pendulum clock has a steel wire and is calibrated at 20°C. We need to determine how much time it will lose or gain when the temperature rises to 30°C. ### Step 2: Identify the change in temperature The change in temperature (ΔT) is: \[ ...
