Q55: The pendulum of the clock made from ordinary wood ____in summer
Contract
Expand
Freeze
Evaporate
View Answer
Ans: b.
The pendulum of a clock made of ordinary metal expands and contracts due to variations in the temperature. In summer, the length of the pendulum increases, and in winter, it decreases. As a result of it, an error creeps into the time shown by the clock. To show the correct time, the pendulum is made of invar-steel, which has negligible expansion and contraction due to variations in temperature.
