what will happen to the time of penelum clocks if you brought in the mountain?

Question

does it move faster,slower or the same?

Answer 1

The pendulum swings slower and thus have a longer oscillation or period because the strength of the earth's gravitational fields is not uniform everywhere. So the time exhibited by the pendulum clocks when brought to the mountains will be late. So the pendulum swings slower and have a longer period in high altitudes and at the equator. While the pendulum swings faster and thus have a shorter period at low altitudes and at the earth poles where there is strong gravitational field.

Answer 2

If by "pendulum" you are referring to the passage of time, not just the mechanics of the clock, then, the answer is time would move a tiny bit faster on a mountain when compared to the passage of time at sea level because there is more gravity at sea level.

The higher the gravitational force, the slower time will appear to be moving inside that gravitational field to an observer outside of it. For example, if you could stand on the sun (bring some sunscreen), and I could see your wristwatch from Earth with a very powerful telescope, your watch would appear to be ticking a bit slower than my watch on Earth. A very, very tiny bit slower. But, yes, the passage of time depends on the gravitational field it's in. Time stops at the center of a black hole. A photon, moving at lightspeed, does not travel through time.

As for the mechanics of a pendulum clock, it may tick faster simply because there's a bit less gravity or less air resistance to swing through on a high mountain.

Answer 3

Same.

Answer 4

WHATTT????
