What was the clock after water clock?
yes
How accurate is a quartz clock?
Quarts clock is based on piezo electric property. It has an accuracy of one second in every 10 power 9 second. Vish wesh
Why is it important that a pendulum in a clock is heavy?
If the pendulum is light it will be susceptible to perturbations from air currents, leading to a loss of accuracy.
What is the purpose of mechanical clock?
The purpose of all clocks (e.g. mechanical clock, water clock, electronic clock, atomic clock) is to measure the passage of time.
When was the water clock first invented in china?

What is the name of the instrument used to measure time with great accuracy?
CLOCK
What was the clock after water clock?
yes
What are disadvanages of water clocks?
The big disadvantage of a water clock in this day and age would be its lack of accuracy compared to present day time pieces. A water clock depends on the speed that water drains through a hole, a function of viscosity. Its viscosity is a function of its density. Water's density varies according to temperature. On a cold day the clock will run slower than on a hot day. While there are places where the ground water temperature remains the same year around, very few people want to go to the trouble of calibrating their own clocks.
