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 1.506 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.)  ?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.)  ?m
