The angular frequency w of a pendulum under the force of gravity is
w = 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.
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
Because the period is based on the length of the pendulum, an increase in temperature (such as that as occurs in summer) will make the material, normally metal, in the pendulum expand - which is why better clocks often had wooden pendulum rods. Since it is longer its period increases and makes the clock run slower than normal. Numerous inventions were developed to counteract this effect, most taking advantage of the properties of thermal expansion of various materials and how they are arranged in the pendulum.
time period of a pendulum is given by;T=22/7(l/g)^1/2 where l is length of a pendulum i.e; time period is directly proprotional to the square root of length. in summer, length of pendulum increases due to increase in temperature and hence time increases & increases in time means the clock runs faster
Changing the length of a pendulum or the mass of its bob has no effect on g; g is a constant, always equal to 9.8 meters per square second near the surface of Earth.
Assuming the pendulum referred to s asimple pendulum of an arm and a weight the major factors on the period are the local attraction of gravity and the length of the arm.
A longer pendulum will result in a longer period. The clock would go slower.
Changing the length will increase its period. Changing the mass will have no effect.
Increase the length of the pendulum
Yes. You can increase the period by moving the pendulum to a location where the gravitational force is weaker.Alternatively, you can increase the effective length of the pendulum. The pendulum may be of fixed length, but you can still increase its effective length by adding mass to any point below its centre of gravity.Yes.

The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.
nothing atall
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
