$A$ pendulum clock keeps correct time at $0\,^{\circ}C$. The thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the material of the pendulum is $\alpha$. If the temperature rises to $t\,^{\circ}C$,then the clock loses per day by (in seconds):

  • A
    $\alpha t$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha t$
  • C
    $\alpha t \times 86400$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}\alpha t \times 86400$
