Why is a clock's pendulum shortened in summer?
I didn't know that this is standard practice, but it certainly makes sense ...In modern clocks, the pendulum rod is some solid material such as metal or wood. In either case, long-term higher temperature would cause the rod to expand slightly, which in turn would slightly lengthen the pendulum's period. Doesn't have to be much, but the clock definitely slows down, and loses time over an extended period.In order to compensate for the lengthening of the pendulum and slowing of the clock when the temperature rises, the rod should be slightly shortened.
