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.

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.
