As we learned

Effect of temperature on Simple Pendulum -

\frac{\Delta T}{T}=\frac{1}{2}\;\alpha\; \Delta \theta

- wherein

\Delta \theta=\theta-\theta_{0}

\Delta \theta= Change in temperature

 

\frac{\Delta T}{T}=\frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta  or \Delta T = \frac{1}{2}\alpha \Delta \theta \cdot T

\Rightarrow 12.5=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 25\times 86400

or  \alpha =\frac{1}{86400}/^{0}\textrm{C}
