gordon rule question Q#3 Sueppose that a grandfather clock a simple pendupumdevice is running slowly. the time it takes to complete each cycleis longer than it should be. should one shorten or lenghten thependulum to make the clock keep the correct time? explain? please explain in detail. gordon rule question Q#3 Sueppose that a grandfather clock a simple pendupumdevice is running slowly. the time it takes to complete each cycleis longer than it should be. should one shorten or lenghten thependulum to make the clock keep the correct time? explain? please explain in detail.

Explanation / Answer

   If the clock is running slow, the timeperiod of click is greater than it should be, i.e. it is takingmore time between one complete oscillation. Hence the time periodmust be reduced.    Timeperiod   T   =   2(L/g)    since time period is proportion to squareroot of length of the pendulum, the length of the pendulum must bereduced.
