Part A Your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m. If the clock runs slow and loses 30 s per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum? Note: due to the precise nature of this problem you must treat the constant g as unknown (that is, do not assume it is equal to exactly 9.80 m/s). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value in case of increasing length of the pendulum and negative value case of decreasing length of the pendulum.

Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
