Question
A pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0°C$. Its mean coefficient of linear expansions is $\alpha /^\circ C$, then the loss in seconds per day by the clock if the temperature rises by $t°C$ is
✓
Answer
(b) Loss in time per second $\frac{{\Delta T}}{T} = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \,(t - 0)$
$\Rightarrow$ loss in time per day
$\Delta t = \left( {\frac{1}{2}\alpha t} \right)\,t = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times (24 \times 60 \times 60) = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$
