A Grandfather clock chimes once at 1 o'clock twice at 2 o'clock three times at 3 o'clock and so on how many times does it chime in one day?

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 78 (add all the hours together)
78 x 2 = 156 (multiply by two because there are 24 hours in a day)
156 chimes in a day!

Why is the center weight on my grandfather clock going down faster than the other two weights?
the centre weight drives the actual time keeping mechanism of the clock. Obviously this operates non stop. The two other weights drive the chime and strike mechanisms. Since these are usually set to be silent during the night and therefore not being used as much, the central weight will require winding up the most.

move the hands backwards or fowards. If you have the little hand on the hour and the big hand on the 3, 6, 9, or 12, it will play Westminster chimes and then strike the number of hours.

If a clock chimes five times in four seconds how many times will it chime in ten seconds?
12 Chimes.Assuming that a "chime" is the full sound range from start to finish, the clock will chime 10x in 8 seconds. It will chime 2.5x in 2 seconds, and assuming that a chime is the full sound length from start to finish, .5 chime does not equal 1 chime.Therefore 10+2=12 ChimesThe above answer is only right if we assume that at 0 seconds the clock chimes 0 times.If we instead assume a starting signal - meaning the clock chimes for the first time at 0 seconds - then it would be reasonable that each consecutive chime would happen one second later. Therefore after 10 seconds the clock would have chimed 11 times.One starting signal and 10 second chimes.

How many times does a clock chime in a 24 hour day?
It depends on the clock; None of my clocks chime even once. A clock that rings the quarter hours (like the clock in the Palace of Westminster - aka, Big Ben) would chime 96 times per 24 hours. Some clocks only chime on the hours, which would be 24 chimes/day.
