Why has my grandfather clock's pendulum stopped swinging?

The most likely explanation is that you need to wind it up. Mechanical clocks, including grandfather clocks, need to be wound every so often. There should be some way to wind up a spring, which you'll see if you open up the clock.


You have two grandfather clocks One must be wound every 6 days the other every 14 days you wind up both clocks on December 15 When is the next time you will have to wind both of the clocks on the sam?

On January 26th ... 42 days later ... you'll wind the first clockfor the 7th time, and the second clock for the 3rd time.
