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 $51.33\text{ cm}^2$.

I’m really glad I found Rahul sir through UrbanPro. He has been extremely helpful with my Computer studies and has made understanding different concepts so much easier for me. He is very patient while explaining things and always makes sure that I actually understand the topic instead of just memorising it. I started taking his help after my Unit Tests, and it has genuinely made a big difference. With my half-yearlies coming up, I feel much more prepared and confident in Computer, and a lot of that is because of his guidance and support. He has helped me improve so much and has always been really supportive whenever I’ve had doubts. I’m really thankful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Computer tutor!
