$A$ pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0^{\circ}C$. If its mean coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha /^{\circ}C$,what is the loss in seconds per day by the clock if the temperature rises by $t^{\circ}C$?

  • A
    $\frac{\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 864000}{1 - \frac{\alpha t}{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$
  • C
    $\frac{\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400}{(1 - \frac{\alpha t}{2})^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400}{1 + \frac{\alpha t}{2}}$
