$A$ clock pendulum made of invar has a period of $0.5 \, s$ at $20^{\circ} C$. If the clock is used in a climate where the temperature averages to $30^{\circ} C$, how much time does the clock lose in each oscillation? (For invar, $\alpha = 9 \times 10^{-7} /{ }^{\circ} C$, $g = \text{constant}$)

  • A
    $2.25 \times 10^{-6} \, s$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{-7} \, s$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-7} \, s$
  • D
    $1.125 \times 10^{-6} \, s$
