A pendulum clock has a pendulum shaft made of aluminum which has a coefficient of linear expansion of 24.0 10-6 K-1. At 22C the period of swing of the pendulum is 1.00 s.

If the temperature is reduced to 5C, how much time does the clock gain or lose in one day? A) It gains 18 s per day.
B) It loses 18 s per day.
C) It gains 9.0 s per day.
D) It loses 9.0 s per day.
E) It neither gains nor loses time.

Question 2
