Question

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:

Run slow.
Run fast.
Stop working.
Give correct time.

✓

Answer

Give correct time.

Explanation:

Because the time period of a spring-mass system does not depend on the acceleration due to gravity.
