Question 130: Work, Energy and Power & Circular Motion

Question

A clock has a continuously moving second's hand of 0.1 m length. The average acceleration of the
tip of the hand (in units of ms
–2
) is of the order of :

Accepted Answer

R = 0.1 m
$$\omega $$ = $${{2\pi } \over T}$$ = $${{2\pi } \over {60}}$$ = 0.105 rad/sec
a = $${\omega ^2}R$$
= (0.105)
2
(0.1)
= 0.0011
= 1.1 $$ 	imes $$ 10
