The time taken by the tip of second hand of a clock to move one full round on circular dial is 60 second. The speed of second hand is _____.

Circumference/minute

C = πd

What is d?

Now that I have spent more time thinking about it, how about 360º/60 seconds = 6º/second?

To find the speed of the second hand of a clock, we need to determine the length of the circular path it travels in a unit of time.

We know that it takes 60 seconds for the tip of the second hand to complete one full round on the circular dial, which represents a complete rotation of 360 degrees.

So, the speed of the second hand can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled (360 degrees) by the time taken (60 seconds).

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 360 degrees/60 seconds

Simplifying this equation gives us:

Speed = 6 degrees/second

Therefore, the speed of the second hand of a clock is 6 degrees per second.
