A clock is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its
simple pendulum has a period of exactly 1.000 s. The pendulum bob
has length L = 0.2483 m and, instead of keeping perfect time, the
clock runs slow by 1.504 minutes per day.
(a) What is the free-fall acceleration (in m/s2) at the clock's
location? (Give your answer to at least 3 decimal places.) Answer
in m/s2
(b) What length of pendulum bob (in m) is required for the clock
to keep perfect time? (Give your answer to at least 4 decimal
places.) Answer in m
