A slow pendulum clock is sp[eeded up by decreasing the effective length of
the pendulum. The weight on the pendulum is usually mounted such that it can
be slid up and down the swinging arm. Sliding the weight up slightly decreases
the effective length of the pendulum, and slightly increases the rate at which
the clock runs. It should be done only in tiny adjustments, because the size
of the change might not even be noticeable until a day or two later.
To stop your Grandfather clock from running fast, you may need to adjust its pendulum length. Try lengthening the pendulum rod to slow down the clock's timing. It's recommended to make small adjustments at a time and monitor the clock's accuracy over a few days. If needed, seek professional help from a clockmaker or horologist.
Yes, as temperature increases, the length of a pendulum in a clock will also increase due to thermal expansion of the material. This change in length can affect the period of the pendulum's swing, potentially causing it to speed up or slow down slightly.
To adjust a pendulum on a clock, you can change the length of the pendulum by moving the pendulum suspension nut up or down. Shortening the pendulum raises the clock’s tempo, while lengthening it slows it down. Make small adjustments and observe the effect on the clock's timekeeping until you achieve the desired accuracy.
First ensure that the clock is wound up if it's a spring type or that the weight is adjusted to the top if its a bobweight escapement. Then proceed by moving the pendulum to one side and releasing it so that it can swing.
Pendulum clocks can become slow in summer due to expansion of materials in warmer temperatures, which can affect the length of the pendulum and thus the timing of the clock. As the pendulum lengthens, it takes longer to complete each swing, leading to a slower overall timekeeping.

A longer pendulum will result in a longer period. The clock would go slower.

The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)

There is a nut on the bottom of the pendulum to adjust the speed. Turning it clockwise speeds it up, counter clockwise slows it down
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.
The time period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. If the length of the pendulum is increased, the time period will also increase. Conversely, if the length is decreased, the time period will decrease.
The time period of a pendulum clock is given by T = 2 π root over l/g , where l is the length of the pendulum . Thus , T is directly proportional to lenght . in summers , T increases as l increases. while in winter , T will decrease as l decreases . Like wise , pendulum clocks go fast in winter and slow in summer
No. It will run 2.45 times as SLOW.
