Q3:
The length of the minute hand of a clock is 14 cm. Find the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes. (Unless stated otherwise, use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)
Solution :
Given:
The length of the minute hand of the clock, which acts as the radius ($r$) of the circular path, is $14\text{ cm}$.
The time duration for which the area is swept is $5\text{ minutes}$.
To Find:
The area swept by the minute hand in $5\text{ minutes}$.
Step 1: Determine the angle swept by the minute hand in 60 minutes.
A minute hand completes one full rotation in $60\text{ minutes}$. A full rotation corresponds to an angle of $360^\circ$.
Angle swept in $60\text{ minutes} = 360^\circ$.
Step 2: Calculate the angle swept by the minute hand in 1 minute.
Using the unitary method:
Angle swept in $1\text{ minute} = \frac{360^\circ}{60} = 6^\circ$.
Step 3: Calculate the angle swept ($\theta$) in 5 minutes.
$\theta = 5 \times 6^\circ = 30^\circ$.
Step 4: Apply the formula for the area of a sector.
The area swept by the minute hand is the area of a sector of a circle with radius $r$ and central angle $\theta$.
Formula: $\text{Area of sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
[Where $\theta = 30^\circ$, $r = 14\text{ cm}$, and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$]
Step 5: Perform the calculation.
$\text{Area} = \frac{30}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14$
Simplify the fraction $\frac{30}{360}$:
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{12} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14$
Cancel terms ($14$ divided by $7$ is $2$):
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{12} \times 22 \times 2 \times 14$
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{12} \times 616$
$\text{Area} = \frac{616}{12} = \frac{154}{3}\text{ cm}^2$
Converting to decimal form:
$\text{Area} \approx 51.33\text{ cm}^2$
Final Answer: The area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes is $\frac{154}{3}\text{ cm}^2$ or approximately $51.33\text{ cm}^2$.
