The pendulum of a clock is usually constructed with some sort of clamp or sliding catch
that permits sliding the weight up and down the stick, raising or lowering its center of mass
and thus changing its effective length.
-- If the clock is running too fast, and has to be turned back a few minutes every now and then,
make the pendulum slightly longer, by sliding the weight down a bit on the stick. This makes
the pendulum swing slightly slower.
-- If the clock is running too slow, and has to be turned a few minutes ahead to catch up every
now and then, make the pendulum slightly shorter, by sliding the weight up a bit on the stick.
This makes the pendulum swing slightly faster.

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?
make shorter length
Who invented to pendulum clock?
Huygens invented the pendulum clock, and don't confuse Huygens with Einstein, because Einstein did not invent the pendulum clock.
When was the pendulum clock invented?
1656Christiaan Huygens invented the pendulum clock and was the most accurate clock into the 1930s.
What clock came after pendulum clock?

How do you slow down a pendulum on a regulator clock?
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

What happen to the time period if its lenght of the pendulum is changed?
If the length of a pendulum is increased, the pendulum will take longer to complete a swing, and the clock will slow down. Shortening the pendulum will speed up the clock.
Frictionless pendulum is an example of?
Frictionlist pendulum is an example of the pendulum of a clock, a reversible process, free.
Where was the pendulum clock invented?
In England
What are the applications of the simple pendulum?
clock
What advantage did the pendulum-clock have over devices such as water-clocks and sand-glasses?
The pendulum clock was the most accurate clock of its time. A disadvantage was that if in the sun too long it would heat up the pendulum and it would change the speed of it.
Who invented the pendulum clock?
Christan Huygens invented the pendulum clock in 1659. Christan huygens is a Dutch Scientist.The invention of the pendulum clock is credited to Christian Huygens who developed working versions in the mid 1650's AD. A couple decades earlier, Galileo came up with designs for a pendulum clock, though it was not completed.
