MCQ
A wall clock uses a vertical spring-mass system to measure the time. Each time the mass reaches an extreme position, the clock advances by a second. The clock gives correct time at the equator. If the clock is taken to the poles it will:
  • A
    Run slow.
  • B
    Run fast.
  • C
    Stop working.
  • Give correct time.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Give correct time.
Because the time period of a spring-mass system does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity.
