Angular Variables

If ω1\omega_1 is angular velocity of hour hand of clock and ω2\omega_2 is angular velocity of the earth, then the ratio ω1\omega_1: ω2\omega_2 is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. ω∝1/T\omega \propto 1/T. Hour hand T1=12T_1 = 12 h, Earth spin T2=24T_2 = 24 h.
  2. ω1:ω2=T2:T1=24:12=2:1\omega_1 : \omega_2 = T_2 : T_1 = 24 : 12 = 2:1.
  3. So the answer is (d) 2 : 1.
