Questions
A clock with a metallic pendulum is 5 seconds fast each day at a temperature of and 10 seconds slow each day at a temperature of , find the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal?
detailed solution
Correct option is A
Graduation temperature= Tochange in time due to coefficient of linear expansion of material of pendulum is∆time = 12α(temperature difference)x86400 here α is coefficient of linear expansion of metal of pendulum5=12.α.To-15×86400----(1)10=12.α.30-To×86400----(2)on dividing eqn (1) with eqn(2) 12=T0-1530-T0 ⇒T0=200C substitute T0 vallue in eqn(1) 5=12α(20-15)86400⇒α=2.31 x 10-5 C -1 0=coefficient of linear expansion of metalSimilar Questions
A clock pendulum made of invar has a period of 2s at 20oC. If the clock is used in a climate where average temperature is 40oC, what correction (in seconds) may be necessary at the end of 10 days to the time given by clock?
