A clock pendulum has a period of 1.222 seconds where g = 9.812 m/s^2.
1. What is the new period of the pendulum when g = 9.797 m/s^2?
2. How many seconds will a clock using this pendulum lose in 24 hours?
For the first one, using 7 significant figures, the new period comes out to 1.222935 seconds. I'm not sure how to do the second part. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
