MCQ

A clock which keeps correct time at ${20^o}C$, is subjected to ${40^o}C$. If coefficient of linear expansion of the pendulum is $12 \times {10^{ - 6}}/^\circ C$. How much will it gain or loose in time

✓
$10.3$ seconds / day
B
$20.6$ seconds / day
C
$5$ seconds / day
D
$20$ minutes / day

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$10.3$ seconds / day

a
(a) Time period $T \propto \sqrt l $

==>$\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\Delta l}}{l} = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta $
Also according to thermal expansion $l' = (1 + \alpha \Delta \theta )$
$\frac{{\Delta l}}{l} = \alpha + \theta $. Hence $\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\Delta l}}{l} = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta $
$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times {10^{ - 6}} \times (40 - 20) = 12 \times {10^{ - 5}}$
$ \Rightarrow \Delta T = 12 \times {10^{ - 5}} \times 86400\, seconds / day$

$\Delta T \approx 10.3\, seconds/day$
