What you want is a pendulum with a frequency of 1/2 Hz. It swings left for 1 second,
then right for 1 second, ticks once in each direction, and completes its cycle in exactly
2 seconds.

The length of such a pendulum technically depends on the acceleration due to gravity
in the place where it's swinging. In fact, pendulum arrangements are used to measure
the local value of gravity.

A good representative value for the length of the "seconds pendulum" is 0.994 meter.

How pendulum clock work?

A pendulum clock works by using the swinging motion of a pendulum to regulate the movement of the clock's gears. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it ticks off intervals of time, allowing the clock's gears to move at a precise rate. This consistent movement is what keeps the hands of the clock accurately displaying the time.

Does a Swiss ETA movement mean the second hand sweeps?

Not necessarily. A watch with an ETA movement just means (at least nowadays) that it's made by a company within the Swatch Group and has no bearing on what kind of movement it is. You'd have to look up your particular watch to see if it's a quartz or mechanical/automatic movement. Generally speaking, the latter will tend to have sweeping seconds because having sweeping seconds on a quartz movement will drain the battery quite fast, whereas the majority of mechanical/automatic movements (except the dead-beat seconds movements) rely on an escapement method which uses a balance wheel which ticks a certain amount of times every second.


What makes a clock tick?

A clock ticks when its mechanism releases stored energy at regular intervals to move the gears and hands. This rhythmic movement of the gears is what creates the familiar ticking sound in most mechanical clocks.


What is the pace of system clock that is measured by the number of ticks per second called?

The pace of the system clock measured by the number of ticks per second is called the clock speed. This refers to how many processing cycles the clock completes in one second. It is often measured in hertz (Hz).

Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?

Because it ticks off the seconds. The first hand ticks off the hours, and the minute hand ticks off the minutes.

Is Cypermethrin good to kill ticks?

Yes it is, kills them in a matter of seconds.


When 6'o clock a clock ticks 6 times the time between first and last ticks was 30sec How much time it takes at 12'o clock?

Ans : 66 seconds here is the explanation It is given that the time between first and last ticks at 6'o is 30 seconds. Total time gaps between first and last ticks at 6'o = 5 (i.e. between 1 & 2, 2 & 3, 3 & 4, 4 & 5 and 5 & 6) So time gap between two ticks = 30/5 = 6 seconds. Now, total time gaps between first and last ticks at 12'o = 11 Therefore time taken for 12 ticks = 11 * 6 = 66 seconds (and not 60 seconds)
