Your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m. a. If the clock runs slow and loses 23 s per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum? Note: due to the precise nature of this problem you must treat the constant g as unknown (that is, do not assume it is equal to exactly 9.80 m/s2). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value in case of increasing length of the pendulum and negative value in case of decreasing length of the pendulum.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
