Which is greater , the angular velicty of the hour hand of a watch or angular velocity of earth around its own axis ?

Answer» For hour hand of watch, time period, ` T_h =12 h,
For earth, `T_e= 24 h`.
Angular velocity, ` omega=(2 pi)/ T`
:. ` (omega _h)/(omega_e) = T_e/T_h = (24)/(12) =2`
or ` omega_h=2 omega_e`
Thus angular velocity of hour hand of a watch is greater than the angular velocity of earth around its own axis.
