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.
