The pendulum of a certain clock has time period 2.04 s. How fast or slow does the clock run during 24 hours?
Answers
As we know it well that the correct time period of the pendulum clock is 2 seconds.
Now, In Question, Pendulum clock is taking more time, i.e. 2.04 seconds. This means it is running slow.
In one second, 2.04/2 = 1.02 seconds. This means for one motion, it is taking 1.02 seconds, which should be 1 seconds.
Thus, It is running slow by 1.02 - 1 = 0.02 seconds.
Thus, In each seconds, it is taking 0.02 seconds more.
In one day, 24 hr = 86400 seconds.
Thus, time loss = 86400 x 0.02
= 1728 seconds.
= 28 minutes 8 seconds.
Hence, time loss by the pendulum clock is 28 minutes 8 seconds in 1 day.
Hope it helps.
