Answer

$9:59:56:8AM$

Work Step by Step

The standard time period is given as $t_{\circ}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ and the shortened time period is given as $t_s=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L(1+\alpha \Delta T)}{g}}$ Now $\frac{t_s}{t_{\circ}}=\frac{2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L(1+\alpha \Delta T)}{g}}}{2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}}$ $\implies t_s=t_{\circ}\sqrt{1+\alpha \Delta T}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t_s=(1.00s)\sqrt{1+(19\times 10^{-6}K^{-1})(-7.9K)}$ $t_s=0.999925s$ Now the elapsed time of the pendulum can be determined as $t=t_pt_s$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=(43200s)(0.999925s)$ $\implies t=(43200s)(\frac{1hr}{3600s})$ $\implies t=11 hr 59 min 56.8s=9:59:56:8AM$
