A pendulum clock is running fast. To correct its time, we should

Options

Areduced the mass of bob
Breduce the amplitude of oscillation
Cincrease the length of pendulum
Dreduce the length of the pendulum

Correct answer

C. increase the length of pendulum

Step-by-step solution

The periodic time of a pendulum is given by aligned & T =2 g & T aligned Hence to increase the periodic time, length has to be increased. The periodic time is independent of mass and amplitude.
