Answer

$\Delta T=1h$

Work Step by Step

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ $\frac{\Delta l}{l}=$ $\frac{\Delta T}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{\Delta l}{l}}=\sqrt{(19\times10^{-6})(12^oC)}=0.0151s$ $t=5.52s$ $\frac{T-T_i}{T_i}=\frac{2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}-2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l_i}{g}}}{2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l_i}{g}}}$ $\frac{\sqrt{l}-\sqrt{l_i}}{\sqrt{l_i}}=\frac{\sqrt{l_i+\alpha l_i\Delta T}-\sqrt{l_i}}{\sqrt{l_i}}=\sqrt{1+\alpha\Delta T}-1=\sqrt{1+(19\times10^{-6})(12)}-1=1.14\times10^{-4}$ $T_i=365\frac{days}{year}\frac{24hours}{1day}\frac{60min}{1hour}\frac{1min}{60s}=3.154\times10^7s$ $\Delta T=(3.154\times10^7s)(1.14\times10^{-4})=3600s=1 h$
