Let and be the angular speed of the second hand, minute hand and hour hand of a smoothly running analog clock, respectively. If and are their respective angular distances in 1 minute then the factor which remains constant () is: [2024]
(1)
Angular velocity of second hand,
Angular velocity of minute hand, rad/minute
Angular velocity of hour hand, rad/minute
Angular distance of second's hand in one minute
By above values,
where, is a constant.
