What are the angular velocities of a second hand, minute hand and hour hand of a clock ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The minute hand of a clock completes one revolution in 60 minutes.
`therefore t=60 min =3,600s and theta=360 ^(@)=2pi `rad
`therefore` Angular velocity, `Omega=(theta)/(t)=(2pi)/(3, 600)=(2xx3.14)/(3, 600)`
`=0.0017 rad//s`
The hour hand of a clock completes one revolution in 12h .
`therefore t-=12` hours =`12xx60 min =12xx60xx60 s`
`=4, 32, 000s`
Angular velocity , `Omega=(theta)/(t)=(2pi)/(43,200)=(2xx3.14)/(43, 200)`
`0.000145 rad//s`
