Question

a pendulum clock is moved from the Mississippi Delta region to the Rocky Mountains. Will the clock run faster of slower in the Rockies? Why? How can it be adjusted to compensate for this change? Describe your assumptions. a pendulum clock is moved from the Mississippi Delta region to the Rocky Mountains. Will the clock run faster of slower in the Rockies? Why?

Explanation / Answer

Time period of simple pendulum is

T = 2 pi (sqrt (L / g ))

Here, l is the length of the pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity

At the top of rockies, acceleration gravity is less compared to sea level.

From the above formula, as the gravity deceases, timeperiod increases. so the clock runs faster.
