What is the angular position in radians of the minute hand of a clock at 2:55?
2 answers:
Refer to the diagram shown.
There are twelve 5-minute divisions.
Each 5-minute division is equal to 360°/12 = 30°.
By convention, angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
The angular position of the minute hand at 2:55 is
θ = 90° + 30° = 120°
Because 360° = 2π radians, therefore
θ = (120/360)*2π = (2π)/3 radians = 2.0944 radians
Answer: (2π)/3 radians ofr 2.0944 radians.

Answer:
320 N/m
Explanation:
From Hooke's law, we deduce that
F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring
Making k the subject of formula then
Conversion
1m equals to 100cm
Xm equals 25 cm
25/100=0.25 m
Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then
Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m
