In a grandfather clock, the second hand moves forward by one second for each half
period of the clock’s pendulum.
a. How long would you expect the pendulum to be in a grandfather clock?
b. If you took a grandfather clock to the moon, where gravity is 1/6 Earth’s gravity,
what would you expect to happen to the period of the clock?
c. What happens to the apparent passage of time on the moon?

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass
disk of radius 37 cm and mass 1.6 kg that is attached to a long,
thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an
axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod
opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its
period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational
acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.

You have a pendulum clock on the Moon, where g = 1.63 m/s2 . What rate does it run at, if that same clock keep accurate time on Earth? In other words, how long would it take (in hours) for the clock's hour hand to make one revolution on the Moon?

You are visiting your grandparents in Boston. There is an antique grandfather clock keeping time in one of the rooms. Your grandmother enters the room and tells you that she had it calibrated professionally in Denver and it kept perfect time for years. After they moved it here to their Massachusetts house, it has not been accurate. It runs too fast and has to be reset to the correct time every few days. You find some papers associated with the...

A) You want to use a pendulum to create a clock with a period of exactly one second in Boone, NC. How long will the pendulum be? Show all your work. (We can predict the period of your simple pendulum using your measurements and Boone’s local gravity g = 9.79 ± 0.01 m/s^2). B) You move your (C1) pendulum to a planet which has a local acceleration due to gravity of 1/9th that of 9.8 m/s^2. How would the period...

A "seconds pendulum" is one that moves through its equilibrium position once each second. (The period of the pendulum is precisely 2s. The length of a seconds pendulum is 0.992 7 m at Tokyo, Japan, and 0.994 2 m at Cambridge, England. What is the ratio of the free-fall accelerations at these two locations? A simple pendulum makes 120 complete oscillations in 3.00 min at a location where g = 9.80 m/s^2. Find (a) the period of the pendulum and...
