A clock pendulum having coefficient of linear expansion 
has a period of 
at 
. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature is 
, how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? 
constant 
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Given, coefficient of linear expansion 
Change in temperature 
If time period of the clock was 
at 
, then time lost by the clock in each oscillation is,
taking and differentiation on both sides
