The pendulum of certain clock has time period 2.04 s. How fast or slow does the clock run during 24 hours?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
the clock runs 28.8 minutes slowere in one day.

The pendulum of the clock has time period 2.03 sec.
Now no of oscillation in 1 day
`=(24xx3600)/2`
=43200
But in each oscillation it is slower by
`(2.04-2.00)=00.04sec`
So in one day it is slower by
`=43200xx(0.04)`
`=28.8min`
so, the clock runs 28.8 minutes slowere in one day.
