Your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m.
If the clock runs slow and loses 18 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/s2).

At high noon on a particular day, the length of a grandfather clock's pendulum unexpectedly changes by 1.000%. What time will this clock read exactly 24.00 h later? Provide both possible answers. Thank you.
4. If a grandfather clock were running slow, how could we adjust the length of the pendulum to correct the time?
Suppose a grandfather clock (a simple pendulum) runs fast. In order to make it run on time you should ... A. make the pendulum longer B. adjust the amplitude of the swing larger C. adjust the amplitude of the swing smaller OD. make the pendulum shorter
Suppose you are the proud owner of a grandfather clock that has a pendulum with a nominal length of 1 meter. You find that the clock runs fast so that it gains 1 second every hour. Should the pendulum be shortened or lengthened to make the clock run on time? By how much?
Please answer the question for part B. (a) Your pendulum clock which advances 1.0 s for every complete oscillation of the pendulum is running perfectly on Earth at a site where the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. You send the clock to a location on the Moon where the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 1.65 m/s2. Does the clock run fast or slow on the Moon? O It runs fast. • It...
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...
2. A grandfather clock run by a simple pendulum is running slow. In order to get the pendulum to swing faster, would you shorten or lengthen the pendulum? Why? a. shorten, since this would change the effects of gravity 'g b. lengthen, since this would change the effects of mass 'm c. shorten, since this would decrease the denominator 'L' d. lengthen, since this would increase the denominator L
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. (a) What should the length...
