A clock which keeps correct time at $20\,^oC$ has a pendulum rod made of brass. How many seconds will it gain or lose per day when temperature falls to $0\,^oC$ ? $(\alpha = 18\times10^{-6}/^oC)$

A

$155.5$

B

$15.55$

C

$25.55$

D

$18.55$

Solution

Gain or loss in $\mathrm{t}$ sec $=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta \theta \mathrm{t}$

$\alpha=$ Coefficient of linear expansion

$\Delta \theta=$ rise in temperature

$\mathrm{t}=$ total time in sec.
