The relative angular speed of hour hand and second hand of a clock is (in rad/s)

The relative angular speed of hour hand and second hand of a clock is (in rad/s)
  1. $\frac{311 \pi}{578}$
  2. $\frac{421 \pi}{11600}$
  3. $\frac{719 \pi}{21600}$
  4. $\frac{919 \pi}{15600}$

Solution

The correct option is (C). Concept: The angular speed is given by $\omega=\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$ Relative angular speed is given by, $\omega=\omega_{\mathrm{s}}-\omega_{\mathrm{h}}$ The angular speed of the second dial is $\omega_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{2 \pi}{60}=\frac{\pi}{30} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$ The angular speed of the hour dial is $\omega_{\mathrm{h}}=\frac{2 \pi}{3600 \times 12}=\frac{\pi}{21600} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$ Therefore, relative angular speed is given by, $\omega=\omega_{\mathrm{s}}-\omega_{\mathrm{h}}=\frac{\pi}{30}-\frac{\pi}{21600}=\frac{719 \pi}{21600} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
