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 :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 10^-3
  • B 10^-1
  • C 10^-2
  • D 10^-4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

R = 0.1 m

ω\omega = 2πT{{2\pi } \over T} = 2π60{{2\pi } \over {60}} = 0.105 rad/sec

a = ω2R{\omega ^2}R

= (0.105)2(0.1)

= 0.0011

= 1.1 ×\times 10-3

Average acceleration is of the order of 10–3.
