A. You have just bought an old-fashioned clock that runs by weights on chains and a pendlum.
B. to get the clock to run, you pull the weights up & start the pendulum swinging. Your watch sats 4:00 so you set the clock at this time.
C. several hours later, you return with a friend to look at your clock. According to your watch it is 8:05, but the clock says 8:15.
D. After determining that there is nothing wrong with your watch, your friends ask, "What do you think caused the clock to gain time?"
E: You watch the clock for a few minutes & then propose, "I think that the pendulum swings too quickly. It makes the clock run fast."
F : You continue, "I also think that if the length of the pendulum were increased, the pendulum would swing more slowly & the clock would run on time."
G: "Furthermore, you say, "To test my explanation, I will suspend string of 3 different lengths & tie a washer to the end of each. Then i will swing each length of string from a 45 angle & time how quickly easch swings."
Soooooooooooooooo!
