QQuestion

State True or False: The hour hand of a clock rotates through an angle \text{π}\over3 radian in 2 hours.

Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark

Answer

True

Explanation:

Hour hand moves in 12 hours = 360°

⇒ Hour hand moves in 1 hours = 360°\over 12

⇒ Hour hand moves in 2 hours = 30° × 2 = 60°

∴ In 2 hours it moves 60° = 60° × \text{π}\over180 = \text{π}\over3 rad.
