Virtually all solids expand when they get warmer. Especially in the neighborhood of

30° to 40° C, and especially common materials used to construct common household

items.

So the pendulum bar or rod ... (I don't know what it's called but I mean the straight

rigid thing between the pivot and the weight on the end) ... expands when it warms,

and its effective center of mass moves farther from the pivot. This has the effect of

increasing the period of the pendulum, so the clock runs slower, and "loses time".

How does temperature change as increases in the troposphere?

As the altitude increases in the Troposphere, The air temperature decreases. When about 1 kilometer increases in altitude, the air cools about 6.5 degrees Celsius. And at the very top of the Troposphere the air temperature stays the same at around -60 degrees Celsius.

The room temperature increases from 20 degrees Celsius to 24 degrees Celsius what happens to the pressure inside a cylinder of oxygen contained in the room?

The pressure inside the cylinder of oxygen will increase as the temperature rises. This is because an increase in temperature causes the oxygen molecules to move faster and collide with the walls of the cylinder more frequently, resulting in a higher pressure.


How does temperature change as height increases the troposphere?

What is the density of 100 degrees Celsius?

The density of a substance at 100 degrees Celsius would depend on the specific substance. Generally, as temperature increases, the density of most substances decreases due to expansion of the material. It's best to look up the specific density of the substance at that temperature for an accurate value.
