Many modern watches operate based on a small quartz tuning fork which transduces a mechanical oscillation into an electrical signal. The frequency of the tuning fork is inversely proportional to sqrt(l), with l being the length of the fork. If the watch keeps perfect time at 20 C, what is the fractional gain or less in time for a quartz tuning fork that is 6mm long at: (a) 0 C (b) 30 C α Quartz = 0.59x10^6 /C
