A pendulum clock is taken to moon. Will it gain or lose time?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a pendulum clock will gain or lose time when taken to the moon, we can analyze the situation step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for the time period of a pendulum The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where: ...
