A circular clock has the hour hand of length 6 inch. Find the length of the distance it covers by it's tip from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. |
4π inch 2π inch 6π inch 8π inch |
6π inch |
Length of hour hand = 6 inch. Arc length = \(\frac{2πrθ }{360°}\) Hours taken from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. = 6 hours. In 6 hours, hour hand complete half round means makes = 180° angle. Length of hour hand = The radius of the circle = 6 inch Length of the distance it covers by it's tip from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m makes arc. Arc length = \(\frac{2π × 6 × 180 }{360°}\) = 6π inch |
