Being a punctual man, the lift operator of a skyscraper hung an exact pendulum clock on the lift wall to know the end of the working day. The lift moves with an upward and downward accelerations during the same time (according to a stationary clock), the magnitudes of the accelerations remaining unchanged. Will the operator finish his working day in time, or will he work more (less) than required?

A pendulum clock loses 12s a day if the temperature is 40^@C and gains 4s a day if the temperature is 20^@C , The temperature at which the clock will show correct time, and the co-efficient of linear expansion (alpha) of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively:

A second's pendulum clock has a steel wire. The clock is calibrated at 20^@ C . How much time does the clock lose or gain in one week when the temperature is increased to 30^@ C ? alpha_(steel) = 1.2 xx 10^-5(^@C)^-1 .

A particle is thrown vertically upwards from the surface of the earth. Let T_(P) be the time taken by the particle to travel from a point P above the earth to its highest point and back to the point P. Similarly, let T_(Q) be the time taken by the particle to travel from another point Q above the earth to its highest point and back to the same in terms of T_(P), T_(Q) and H, is :-
