How long do you make the cable

Reference no: EM13562252

You want to build a grandfather clock with a pendulum (aweight on the end of a light cable) that has one second between its"tick" (swinging to) and its "tock" (swinging fro).

(a) How long do you make the cable?

(b) Suppose the cable stretches a bit from the weight on the end.Will the clock run fast or slow?
