An accurate pendulum clock is mounted on ground floor of a high building. How much time will it lose or gain in one day if it is transferred to top storey of a building which is h = 200 m higher than the ground floor?  Radius of earth is 6.4× 10 6 m .

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

T = 2 π l⁡ g or T ∝ 1 g

∴     T ′ T = g g ′

But g ′ = g 1 + h R 2 or g ′ g = 1 1 + h R 2

∴     T ′ T = 1 + h R

or T ′ = T 1 + h R

Since, T ′ > T , the clock will lose the time.

∴     Δ T = T ′ - T = T h R

∴ Time lost in t=1 day is

= 2 4 × 3 6 0 0 2 0 0 6.4 × 1 0 6  s = 2.7 s
