- 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).arrow_forwardOn a warm summer day (33 ∘C), it takes 4.90 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake.

- Hi, I have a question! The length of an aluminum pendulum in a certain clock is 0.2480 m on a day when the temperature is 23.30°C. This length was chosen so that the period of the pendulum is exactly 1.000 s. The clock is then hung on a wall where the temperature is -5.00°C and set to the correct local time. Assuming the acceleration due to gravity is the same at both locations, by how much time is the clock incorrect after one day at this temperature?
