Question 14

The length of the minute of a watch is 42 mm. The area swept by it in 30 minutes (in $$mm^2$$) by taking π as 3.14 is:-

Solution

60 minutes = 360 degrees or 2$$\pi$$ radians.

$$\Rightarrow$$ 1 minute = 60  degrees.

$$\Rightarrow$$ 30 minutes = 180  degrees  or  $$\pi$$ radians.

Therefore area (A) swept by minute hand of length 42 mm in 30 minutes =  area of semi-circle of radius (r = 42 mm) .

$$\Rightarrow A = \pi r^2\div 2 = 3.14\times 42^2\div 2 = 2769.5 mm^2$$.
