The short and long hands of a clock are $4\ cm$ and $6\ cm$ long respectively. Find the sum of distances travelled by their tips in 2 days. $[ take\ \pi=\frac{22}{7} ]$.
Given: The short and long hands of a clock are $4\ cm$ and $6\ cm$ long respectively.
To do: To find the sum of distances travelled by their tips in 2 days.
Solution:
The tips of clock cover circular paths.
The hour hand covers 4 complete circles in 2 days $( 48\ hours)$
Here $r=4\ cm$
Distance $= 4\times( 2\pi r)=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 4 \times 4 = 100.57\ cm$
The minute hand covers $= 48$ Circles in $2$ days $( Each\ hour = 1\ circle)$
Here $r=6\ cm$
Distance $= 48\times( 2\pi r)=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 48 = 1810.23\ cm$
Total distance $= 100.57 + 1810.23 = 1910.8\ cm$
