How can we define one Newton ?
How can we define one Newton? (Asked Pawas Rituja) One newton is defined as that force which when acts on a body of mass 1 kg produces an acceleration of 1 m/s^2 in it Incoming search terms:if you set up your pendulum atop mount everest would the period be less than the same as or greater thanit would [...]

Variation of Time with altitude
Time shown by a clock at a height more than that of the mount everest will be ahead of the time shown by the clock at ground level? Or it will be same? Or there will be a difference but very small.?
Answer:
If it is a pendulum clock, the time period will vary with altitude. As the time period of oscillation depends on acceleration due to gravity and the value of g decreases with altitude.
