CLOCKS

CLOCK
MH : Minute Hand
HH : Hour Hand
SH : Second Hand
Angle between two successive markings = 30°
MINUTE HAND
Time taken by Minute Hand to complete one round = 60 min.
∴ In 60 min → 360° or in 1 min ⇒ 6°
HOUR HAND
Time taken by Hour Hand to complete 1 round = 12 hr
∴ In 12 hr → 360° or in 1 hr ⇒ 30°
⇒ in 1 min ⇒ 30/60 = (1/2)°
SECOND HAND
Time taken by Second Hand to complete one round = 60 sec.
∴ In 60 sec → 360° or in 1 sec ⇒ 6°
Relative speed between HH & MH = (6 – 1/2)° / min
= 11/2°/min
The minute hand (MH) overtakes the hour hand (HH) in
