The period of a pendulum is given by T = 2 L/g where L is the length
Question:
The period of a pendulum is given by T = 2 √L/g where L is the length of the pendulum in feet, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and T is the time in seconds. The pendulum has been subjected to an increase in temperature such that the length has increased by 1/2%.
(a) Find the approximate percent change in the period.
(b) Using the result in part (a), find the approximate error in this pendulum clock in 1 day.
