उत्तर
Given,
Time period of the clock pendulum = 2.04 s
The number of oscillations made by the pendulum in one day is calculated as \[\frac{\text { Number of seconds in one day }}{\text {time period of pendulum in seconds }} = \frac{24 \times 3600}{2}\] = 43200
In each oscillation, the clock gets slower by (2.04 − 2.00) s, i.e., 0.04 s.
In one day, it is slowed by = 43200 × (0.04)
= 28.8 min
Thus, the clock runs 28.8 minutes slow during 24 hours.

Consider two simple harmonic motion along the x and y-axis having the same frequencies but different amplitudes as x = A sin (ωt + φ) (along x-axis) and y = B sin ωt (along y-axis). Then show that
`"x"^2/"A"^2 + "y"^2/"B"^2 - (2"xy")/"AB" cos φ = sin^2 φ`
and also discuss the special cases when
- φ = 0
- φ = π
- φ = `π/2`
- φ = `π/2` and A = B
- φ = `π/4`
Note: when a particle is subjected to two simple harmonic motions at right angle to each other the particle may move along different paths. Such paths are called Lissajous figures.
