QUESTION
A Grandfather’s ClockDiscuss how a grandfather clock (a pendulum clock), accurate at 20oC,will run fast or slow on a hot day (say, 30oC)?Base your answer on physics and the formula for the simple pendulum.If you make the rod of the Pendulum out of Wood ( look up the coefficient of linearexpansion) What is the change in length and thus theperiod?Seeing your result, explain how adjustments are made to clocksrunning too fast or slow because of temperature change. Knowing this, what other things in your home, work or life ingeneral will run differently based on temperature? Does humidityalso have an effect on your example? Explain why? Be creativeand think about things you use all year long that might be affectedby temperature and humidity as far as operation. It does not justhave to be an example that affects timing. It could affectoperation, size, etc.
