it will lose time. it slows as you change level....change of gravity

When a pendulum clock is taken from sea level to the top of a high mountain it will?
..weigh less and the pendulum will swing at a slower rate. It might become more valuable (high mountain areas have less access to fine clocks than many sea level communities).
Why a pendulum clock becomes slow while taking up to mountain?
The time period of oscillation of the pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) at that place. g is low at heights above the sea level. So T increases. Period increases. So frequency decreases. Hence the slow movenment.
HOW A GRANDFATHER CLOCK WORKS?
A grandfather clock is a freestanding floor clock with a pendulum which is driven by weights. William Clement, an English clockmaker, developed this type of clock in 1670. They are sometimes referred to as longcase and striking clocks. A modern longcase clock is referred to as a grandfather clock and has eight-day movements which are different from the earlier longcase clocks. Traditionally, there were two types of longcase clocks, an eight-day one that had to be wound once a week and a thirty hour clock which had to be wound once a day. The modern longcase clock is usually driven by weights suspended by a cable wrapped around a pulley and is wound by inserting a crank key into a hole of the face of the clock and turning it. There are chain-driven ones that are wound by pulling the chain on the weights until the weights reach the top, right under the face of the clock. The left weight of a modern grandfather clock, which contains three weights, controls the striking on the hour, the middle weight controls the pendulum and keeps the time correct, and the right weight controls the quarter-hour chiming sequences. For the pendulum to swing properly, the clocks must be absolutely level on the floor. Westminster Quarters are installed in most modern grandfather clocks but some offer Whittington Chimes or Michael’s Chimes. One-fourth of the chime sequence sounds on 15 minutes past the hour, one-half of the chime sequence sounds on 30 minutes past the hour, three-fourths of the chime sequence sounds on quarter past the hour, and the remaining chime sequence sounds on the hour. Grandfather clocks got their name in 1876 when a song was written by H.C. Work called My Grandfather’s Clock. This was written in remembrance of two brothers who worked as managers at a hotel in England. When the first brother died, the clock began to lose time. When the other brother died, the clock quit working altogether. The longcase clocks were routinely called grandfather clocks from that time on.
Would it be more difficult to draw soda through a straw at sea level or on top of a mountain?
top of a mountain
1 What is the difference between a level triggered clock and an edge triggered clock?
in level trigger mode, the input signal is sampled when the clock signal is either high or low whereas in edge trigger mode the input signal is sampled at rising or at the falling edge. lever triggering is sensitive to glitches whereas edge trigger is non sensitive.. example: latch for level trigger and flip-flop for edge trigger

How would the period of the simple pendulum be change if the pendulum is moved from the sea level to the top of the high mountain?
It's faster at sea level and slower at the top of a mountain.
What would the effect be on the period of the simple pendulum if the pendulum was moved from sea level to the top of a mountain or to the moon or to the sun?
As the force of gravity increases the period would decrease. So shortest period on the sun (if you can keep it intact), then sea level, then mountain top and then moon.

Why pendulum is slow at sea level?
Denser, heavier air.
How do you find out what level you are on Viva Piñata?
The way you can tell what level you are on is under the clock. The petals on the clock tell you how many more points you need to get to the next level.
What happens to a mountain's root as the mountain is eroded?
With less mass above sea-level to support, the buoyant root rebounds upward an amount that is exactly proportional to the density difference between the root and the underlying mantle.
