Question

A pendulum clock gives correct time at the equator. When it gain time or loose time as it is taken to the poles?

Open in App

Solution

If it is taken to the poles g value increases. time period decreases so, the pendulum clock gains time. hence, if a pendulum clock gives correct time at the equator then, it gains time if it is taken to the poles. Apparent gravity is a bit larger at the poles
