Question

g In principle, both the motion of a simple pendulum and the motion of a mass on a horizontal ideal spring can be used to measure time (via their periods of oscillation). But one of these two types of clocks loses it's accuracy (must be re-calibrated) when taken to high altitudes. Which type of clock is this, and why? Explain in detail please.

Answer 1

In a system with a hanging mass and an inextensible wire, the force is proportional to the sino, in the case of small oscillations, approximately the stop angle, this hiss is lost, the calibration for large amplitudes is lost.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a spring-mass system the restoring force created by the spring is proportional to displacement from the equilibrium position, therefore this watch does not require streamlining as the amplitude of movement increases.

In a system with a hanging mass and an inextensible wire, the force is proportional to the sino, in the case of small oscillations, approximately the stop angle, this hiss is lost, the calibration for large amplitudes is lost.
