MCQ
A seconds pendulum clock has a steel wire. The clock shows correct time at $25^{\circ} C$. .......... $s$ time does the clock lose or gain, in one week, when the temperature is increased to $35^{\circ} C$ ? $\left(\alpha_{\text {toel }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C \right)$
  • A
    $321.5$
  • B
    $3.828$
  • C
    $82.35$
  • $36.28$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$36.28$
d
(d)

$\frac{\Delta T}{T}=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \theta$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \times 10$

$\frac{\Delta T}{T}=6.0 \times 10^{-5}$

$\text { Hence time lost in } 1 \text { week }=6.0 \times 10^{-5} \times T$

$=6.0 \times 10^{-5} \times 7 \times 24 \times 3600$

$=36.28 \,s$

The distance $s$ travelled by a particle in time $t$ is $s=u t-\frac{1}{2} \,g t^{2}$. The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be $u=1.11 \pm 0.01 \,m / s$ and the time interval of the experiment was $t=1.01 \pm 0.1 \,s$. The acceleration was taken to be $g=9.8 \pm 0.1 \,m / s ^{2}$. With these measurements, the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result?
