A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

$T= 3600\ sec$

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}$

$\omega=0.001745\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2$

$a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock $1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2$ .

Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The largest total area of the oil slick $A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2$
