What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by a pendulum clock made of iron bar?
I think you're saying that the pendulum itself is an iron bar.
-- The period of the swing is determined by the pendulum's length. Whether the pendulum
is a long distributed mass, or just all one lump down at the end, its effective length in
either case is the distance from the pivot to its center of mass.
-- Rising temperature makes the iron bar longer, but doesn't change its mass. So its
center of mass becomes farther from the pivot, and its period of swing increases.
-- So higher temperature would make the clock run slower.
This sounds like an elegant way to detect small differences in local gravity at different
places. I don't know for a fact, but I'll just bet that this is how it's actually done, with
a portable instrument based on a pendulum-regulated timekeeping device.

What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by pendulum clock if the pendulum rod increased in length with an increase in temperature?
A longer pendulum will result in a longer period. The clock would go slower.
What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by a pendulum clock if the pendulum rod increase in length with an increase in temperature?
The angular frequency w of a pendulum under the force of gravity isw = Sqrt(g/L)where g is the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface. Most materials tend to expand when their temperature is increased. If L increases, the quantity g/Ldecreases, and therefore w decreases. This will have the effect of slowing down the pendulum rod and therefore slowing down the clock.
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.
How much time is gained or lost in a year if the pendulum in a grandfather clock made of brass keeps perfect time at 17C the clock is kept at 25C Assume the frequency dependence on length?
If the grandfather clock is made of brass and the temperature increases from 17°C to 25°C, the clock would gain time due to the brass pendulum expanding. This is because as the temperature increases, the pendulum lengthens causing the clock to run faster. The exact amount of time gained would depend on the specific temperature coefficient of expansion of brass and the length of the pendulum.
Would you find a pendulum on a colck?
Yes, a clock can have a pendulum. Pendulum clocks use a swinging weight on a rod to regulate its timekeeping mechanism. The swing of the pendulum controls the movement of the clock's hands.
Why didn't navigators on sailing ships just use a pendulum clock to keep time?
Pendulum clocks have a pendulum that moves, so on a moving ship the clock would not work right. The ships movement would throw off the clock telling the right time.
What would make a clock pendulum start swinging once it's stopped for days?
A clock pendulum may start swinging again after being stopped for days due to changes in temperature or humidity, which can affect the mechanics of the clock. Additionally, a gentle push or nudge to the pendulum can help overcome any initial resistance or friction that may have caused it to stop.
What would be an antonym for pendulum?
well pendulum is like a clock, so think of something that CAN'T tell time
What advantage did the pendulum-clock have over devices such as water-clocks and sand-glasses?
The advantage of the pendulum clock over water-clocks and sand-glasses was its greater accuracy and precision in timekeeping. The swinging motion of the pendulum ensured consistent and reliable time measurements, making it a significant advancement in timekeeping technology.
What if your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m If the clock loses half a minute per day how should you adjust the length of the pendulum?
To adjust the length of the pendulum to correct the time lost, you would need to increase the length of the pendulum slightly. Increasing the length will decrease the time period of oscillation, causing the clock to run slower. You would need to experiment with increasing the length incrementally until the clock keeps time accurately.
Does a clock work accurately on the moon?
A clock would work accurately on the moon as long as it's designed to account for the different gravitational conditions. The lack of atmosphere and lower gravity on the moon may cause slight variations, but a specially designed clock would be able to accurately keep time.
Why wouldn't a pendulum clock wouldn't work properly on the moon?
Because there is very little gravity there and so everything is lighter, meaning the pendulum would not swing the way it does on Earth.
