The Medieval Egyptians considered it to be very accurate, but in recent scientific studies it has been found that it is only 89.33% accurate.

What advantage did the pendulum-clock have over devices such as water-clocks and sand-glasses?

The advantage of the pendulum clock over water-clocks and sand-glasses was its greater accuracy and precision in timekeeping. The swinging motion of the pendulum ensured consistent and reliable time measurements, making it a significant advancement in timekeeping technology.

How did Plato get his good idea for water clock?

Plato did not invent the water clock. The water clock, also known as a clepsydra, has origins dating back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Plato likely used and was inspired by existing water clock technology in his time.


What is the swinging component of a grandfather clock called?

The swinging component of a grandfather clock is called the pendulum. It regulates the timekeeping of the clock by controlling the speed at which the clock's gears turn. The length of the pendulum determines the clock's accuracy and helps keep time consistent.


What are disadvanages of water clocks?

The big disadvantage of a water clock in this day and age would be its lack of accuracy compared to present day time pieces. A water clock depends on the speed that water drains through a hole, a function of viscosity. Its viscosity is a function of its density. Water's density varies according to temperature. On a cold day the clock will run slower than on a hot day. While there are places where the ground water temperature remains the same year around, very few people want to go to the trouble of calibrating their own clocks.


What does the little clock mean?

the little clock gives an indication of the time of day. It is adjustable to any time zone but loses some accuracy at speeds above mach 4


How does thermal expansion affect the accuracy of the pendulum clock?

the pendulum gets longer ever so slightly and therefore the clock thinks that they are still seconds but they are slightly longer than seconds. This means that gradually it will become slower and slower.
