The purpose of a pendulum in a pendulum clock is that it uses its weight as a way to keep accurate and precise time. When it swings back and forth the weight keeps it going at the same time every time making for more accurate timekeeping.

When were pendulum clocks replaced by more accurate clocks?
In the 1930s
Do some clocks contain mercury?
Clocks that has a pendulum may contain mercury.
What is a pengelom?
That is a misspelling of Pendulum. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Some clocks have this...
In everyday life where can apply simple pendulum?
Grandfather Clocks and Swings.
Was the digital clock invented after the pendulum clock?
Oh yes. pendulum Clocks rely on mechanics. Digital Clocks rely on Electronics. And we didn't learn to use Electronics until way later than mechanics.
Why don't pendulum clocks work at sea?
why pendulum clocks dont work at sea

Why do all clocks make use of some peiodic motion?
doctor.Galileo Galilee found that a pendulum of a given length takes always the same time to complete one oscillation .this observation led to the development of pendulum clocks .winding clocks & wristwatch's were refinements of the pendulum clocks

What instruments did the Elizabethans use to tell the time?
They had pendulum clocks. (What you might call a grandfather clock). Also sundials, water clocks, candles.
What time pieces were available in 1778?
Pocket watches, chimney clocks, sun dials, church clocks. Only wrist watches are from a later date.
How time was measured when pendulum clocks was not available?
in earlier times time was measured by sandclock or waterclock
What is the bearing of a pendulum?
The bearing on a clock pendulum is usually two knife edges with a cross piece balanced upon it supporting the pendulum. Sometimes on cheaper clocks a very thin strip of springy steel is used.
