Question

Give reason: A pendulum clock runs slow when either taken to a mountain top or in a mine.

Answer 1

• On the top of a mountain, the value of g is less than on the surface of the earth. As T∝1√g , so the time period of pendulum clock increses. It means pendulum clock will take more time to complete one oscillation, i.e., it will be loosing time.
