    The ratio of angular speed of a second-hand to the hour-hand of a watch is

    A)  \[60:1\]           

    B)  \[72:1\]

    C)  \[720:1\]          

    D)  \[3600:1\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : The second-hand completes one rotation in 1 min and the hour-hand completes in 12 h. \[\therefore \] The angular speed of the second-hand is \[{{\omega }_{s}}=\frac{2\pi \,rad}{1\min }=\frac{2\pi \,rad}{60s}\] and that of the hour-hand is \[{{\omega }_{s}}=\frac{2\pi \,rad}{12h}=\frac{2\pi \,rad}{12\times 60\times 60s}\] Their corresponding ratio is \[\frac{{{\omega }_{s}}}{{{\omega }_{h}}}=\frac{\frac{2\pi \,rad}{60s}}{\frac{2\pi \,rad}{12\times 60\times 60s}}=\frac{12\times 60\times 60}{60}=\frac{720}{1}\]
