An insulated chamber at a height `h` above the earth's surface and maintained at `30^(@)C` has a clock fitted with an uncompensated pendulum. The maker of the clock for the chamber mistakenly design it to maintain correct time at `20^(@)C` at that height. it is found that if the chamber were brought to earth's surface the clock in it would click correct time at `30^(@)C`. the coefficient of linear expansion of the material of pendulum is (earth's radius is R)

A

`(trianglel)/(10l)`

B

`(5R)/(h)`

C

`(h)/(5R)`

D

`(h)/(20R)`

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a pendulum clock in an insulated chamber at a height \( h \) above the Earth's surface, maintained at \( 30^\circ C \). The clock was designed to keep correct time at \( 20^\circ C \). When brought to the surface, it keeps correct time at \( 30^\circ C \). We need to find the coefficient of linear expansion \( \alpha \) of the pendulum material. ### Step 2: Write the Time Period of the Pendulum The time period \( T \) of a simple pendulum is given by the formula: \[ ...
