which among the following clocks works on the principle of weight and gravity ?
option a} mechanical clocks
option b] pendulum clocks

Dear Student, Pendulum Clock works on the principle of weight and gravity.This is because the swinging motion of a pendulum is due to the force of gravity generated by the earth's size. Other factors, including a pendulum's length, can also affect its motion. A pendulum is an object hung from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the action of gravity.A pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight, as its timekeeping element. The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it is a harmonic oscillator: It swings back and forth in a precise time interval dependent on its length, and resists swinging at other rates.Regards
