3-2.Motion in Plane
medium
A clock has a continuously moving second's hand of $0.1\, m$ length. The average acceleration of the tip of the hand (in units of $ms ^{-2}$ ) is of the order of
A
$10^{-3}$
B
$10^{-2}$
C
$10^{-4}$
D
$10^{-1}$
(JEE MAIN-2020)
Solution
$R=0.1 m$
$\omega=\frac{2 \pi}{ T }=\frac{2 \pi}{60}=0.105 rad / sec$
$a =\omega^{2} R$
$=(0.105)^{2}(0.1)$
$=0.0011$
$=1.1 \times 10^{-3}$
Average acceleration is of the order of $10^{-3}$
