Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 412

Question: A pendulum clock loses 12 s a day if the temperature is 40C and gains 4 s a day if the temperature is20C . The temperature at which the clock will show correct time, and the co- efficient of linear expansion (α) of the metal of the pendulum shaft are respectively:

Options:

A) 30C;α=1.85×103/C

B) 55C;α=1.85×102/C

C) 25C;α=1.85×105/C

D) 60C;α=1.85×104/C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Time lost / gained per day =12αΔθ×86400

second 12=α(408)×86400 ….(i) 4=α(θ20)×86400 ….(ii) On dividing we get, 3=40θθ20

3660=40θ

4θ=100θ=25C
