A. The program just need to simulate the times without a waiting delay between prints. If you wish to add a delay, you could add an empty loop like this: for(int i=0; i<100000000; i++); after each print.

b. The number of hours, minutes, and seconds is always printed as a 2-digit number (so, print "01" instead of "1").
c. The program never ends. Once reaching the end of day: 23:59:59, it would continue with 00:00:00.
d. You must use only the C++ instructions that we have covered so far in class

Final answer:

To calculate the time on the clock 24 hours later after changing the length of the pendulum by 1.000%, follow these steps: calculate the actual time for 24 hours, determine the difference in time caused by the change, and add the difference to the original time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Updated Time on Clock

To calculate the time on the clock 24 hours later after changing the length of the pendulum by 1.000%, we can use the following steps:

  1. Calculate the actual time it takes for the clock to complete 24 hours using the original length of the pendulum.
  2. Determine the difference in time caused by the change in length (1.000% of the original time).
  3. Add the difference in time to the original time to get the updated time on the clock 24 hours later.

Example:

Suppose the original time for the clock to complete 24 hours is 24 hours.

1.000% of 24 hours is 0.24 hours.

Adding 0.24 hours to the original time of 24 hours gives us a total of 24.24 hours.
