(a)
To find the fraction of the distance between 4 and 5 that the hour hand have travelled.
(a)
Answer to Problem 35E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The hour and minute hands of a clock travel around its face at different speeds.
Calculation:
When the minute hand points to
Therefore, fraction of the distance between 4 and 5 that the hour hand have travelled is
(b)
To find the fraction of the distance travelled by the hour hand if the minute hand reaches its position.
(b)
Answer to Problem 35E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The hour and minute hands of a clock travel around its face at different speeds.
Calculation:
The hour hand will travel only
Therefore, fraction of the distance, the hour hand have travelled is
(c)
To list the next two terms of the series representing the distance travelled by the hour hand as the minute hand chases its position.
(c)
Answer to Problem 35E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The hour and minute hands of a clock travel around its face at different speeds.
Calculation:
The terms of the series will be-
(d)
To find at what time between the two hands will coincide between
(d)
Answer to Problem 35E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The hour and minute hands of a clock travel around its face at different speeds.
Calculation:
At 4:00 the minute hand has covered
Now let time after which these two coincide be
So hour hand covers
So,
Solving we get
So after
