Ex 5.2, 7 Where will the hour hand of a clock stop if it starts (a) from 6 and turns through 1 right angle? If it starts from 6 & turns 1 right angle, It will end up at 9 We know that 1 right angle = 1/4 of revolution = 1/4 × 12 hours = 3 hours Answer VerifiedThis implies it will stop at \[2\] on clock. c) Hour hand of clock stops when it starts from\[10\] and turns \[3\] right angles:Here we have \[3\] right angles, as one right angle measure for \[3\] hours so \[3\] right angles will count \[3 \times 3 = 9{\text{ }}hours\]Hence the clock will stop at \[10 + 9 = 19{\text{ }}hours\]As the clock is of \[12\] hours marks only so \[19 - 12 = 7\] This implies it will stop at \[7\] on clock. d) Hour hand of clock stops when it starts from \[7\] and turns \[2\] straight angles:Here we have \[2\] straight angles. One straight angle measure \[6\] hours here we have\[2\] straight angles so it counts for \[6 \times 2 = 12{\text{ }}hours\]Hence the clock will stop at \[7 + 12 = 19{\text{ }}hours\]As the clock is of \[12\] hours marks only so \[19 - 12 = 7\] This implies it will stop at \[7\] on clock.
Note: Angle made by the hour hand in \[1\] hour is \[30\]. Angle made by the minute hand of a clock in \[1\] minute is \[6\]. Angle made by the second hand of the clock in \[1\] second is also\[6\]. The angle measured in the clock is always measured clockwise by default unless it is mentioned in any particular direction. However the angle measured in a clockwise direction is taken as a negative angle in trigonometry and slope concepts.
