Question

Calculate the ratio of angular speed of rotation of earth and hour hand of 12hour clock

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,Earth's Rotation = 1 rev / day. Earth's Rotation = 2 π / 24 hours Earth's Rotation = 2 π / 86,400 Earth's Rotation = 7.27 × 10-5sec-1Hour hand = 2 pi / 12 hours = 2 pi / 43,200 = 1.45 × 10-4sec-1 Hour hand = 1 revolution / 12 hours = 2 revolutions/ day. The angular velocity of the hour hand is double that of the earth.Regards
