Chapter 16, Problem 87GP
A grandfather clock has a simple brass pendulum of length L. One night, the temperature in the house is 25.0 °C and the period of the pendulum is 1.00 s. The clock keeps correct time at this temperature. If the temperature in the house quickly drops to 17.1 °C just after 10 P.M., and stays at that value, what is the actual time when the clock indicates that it is 10 A.M. the next morning?

Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0 = 1.00 m and a mass M at temperature T = 20.00°C. It can be modeled as a physical pendulum as a rod oscillating around one end. By what percentage will the period change if the temperature increases by 10°C? Assume the length of the rod changes linearly with temperature, where L = L0 (1 + αΔT) and the rod is made of brass (α = 18 × 10−6 °C−1).
How many calories are required to change two grams of 0°C ice to 100°C steam? The latent heat of fusion is 80 cal/g and the latent heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g. The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g · K.
A 0.10-kg object attached to a spring whose spring constant is 250 N/m executes simple harmonic motion. If its maximum speed is 10.0 m/s, the amplitude of its oscillation is:
On a warm summer day (29 ∘C∘C), it takes 4.70 ss for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. On a winter day, it takes 5.10 ss . The speed of sound in air is v≈(331+0.60T)m/sv≈(331+0.60T)m/s, where TT is the temperature in ∘C∘C.
What is the temperature on the winter day?
