Back to 16.4 The Simple Pendulum

16.4 Exercise 18

Avg difficulty 2.5

As usual, the acceleration due to gravity in these problems is taken to be g=9.80m/s2g = 9.80 \text{m} / \text{s}^{2}, unless otherwise specified.

If a pendulum-driven clock gains 5.00 s/day, what fractional change in pendulum length must be made for it to keep perfect time?
