Gravitational time dilation in weak field
A plane flies at a constant height $h$. I should calculate, which speed $v$ the plane shoud have, such that an observer on ground sees the a clock whithin the plane tick in the same rate as a clock on ...

Does a clock oscillating in a friction-free hole through the center of a planet run slower than a stationary clock on the surface?
Assume a clock is dropped into a friction-free hole through the center of a symmetric, non-rotating planet, far from any other massive object. Clearly, the clock oscillates from one end of the hole to ...
