What is the ratio of the angular speed of the hour hand of a clock to that of the Earth due to its spin (rotational motion)?

Answer»

Solution :If `omega_1 " and " omega_2` are the RESPECTIVE angular speeds of the hour hand and the EARTH about its axis.
`omega_1/omega_2=(2pi//T_1)/(2pi//T_2)=T_2/T_1=24/12=2`
