Which consequence arises from imperfections when constructing gears according to algebraic proportions, during the mechanical clock development?

💡 Explanation

In early mechanical clocks imprecise adherence to computed gear ratios impacted the isochronism of the pendulum because kinematic inaccuracies caused cumulative timing errors rather than conserving energy. Therefore, constant rate deteriorated, rather than improved power storage.
