  1. T = 2πROOT L BY G      OR T INVERSLY PROPORSIONA TO L
Time period of a pendulum clock is directly proportional to square root of the length of the
Pendulum.
i) In winter the length of the pendulum decreases and its time period decreases. So clock goes
fast.
ii) In summer the length of the Pendulum increases and its time period increases. So the clock
goes slow.

In summer and the length of pendulum string increases and it’s time period also increase so the pendulum clock go slower in summer and winter the length of pendulum string decreases and it's time period is also decreases so the pendulum goes faster in winter

Because as the length decreases time period increses so length is inversely proportional to time period

because time depends upon effective length of string.In summer length of string increases due to temperature and in winter length contracts.so time works dependig upon seasons.
