The radius of the circle traced out by the second hand on a clock is 6.00 cm. In a time t the tip of the second hand moves through an arc length of 19.0 cm. Determine the value of t in seconds.

Answer:

30.29 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius=r=6 cm

Length of an arc=l=19 cm

We have to find the value of t in seconds.

[tex]\theta=\frac{l}{r}[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

[tex]\theta=\frac{19}{6}=3.17 rad[/tex]

We know that

1 minute=60 seconds

In 60 seconds ,second hand makes an angle=[tex]2\pi[/tex]radian

[tex]2\pi[/tex] radian made by second had in 60 sec.

1 radian made by second hand in [tex]\frac{60}{2\pi}[/tex] sec

3.17 rad made by second hand in [tex]\frac{60}{2\pi}\times 3.17=\frac{60}{2\times 3.14}\times 3.17=30.29 s[/tex]

Hence, the value of t =30.29 s
