Answer
Given,
Period of the Pendulum, T= 1 s
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
Length of Bob = 0.2482 m
Loss of time in the clock = 1.5 minutes/ day
Loss of time in 1 oscillation
=
= 0.001042
Hence, time period, T = 1 + 0.001042
T = 1.001042 s
a) Using Time period of oscillation formula
Free fall acceleration at the clock location = 9.77 m/s²
b) Length of pendulum bob to keep it perfect time
Hence, Length of pendulum bob is equal to 0.2475 m.
Answer:
Let's start by breaking down the problem.
This is how it should look. ↓

⇒
What does that <em>x</em> mean? <em>x</em> is just a substituted value for the first 2 equations.
Now, we can solve.
÷
Add 3
Now, multiply 6 times 5 squared. What does 5 squared mean? 5 squared is just 5 times itself once. You most likely want to solve 5 squared before multiplying.
And now for the last step, multiply 25 times 6
With that information, the problem is solved! Your answer is 150
