Question
The diagram below shows a circular clockface with centre . The clock’s minute hand has a length of . The clock’s hour hand has a length of .
At pm the endpoint of the minute hand is at point and the endpoint of the hour hand is at point .
Between pm and pm, the endpoint of the minute hand rotates through an angle, , from point to point . This is illustrated in the diagram.
A second clock is illustrated in the diagram below. The clock face has radius with minute and hour hands both of length . The time shown is am. The bottom of the clock face is located above a horizontal bookshelf.
The height, centimetres, of the endpoint of the minute hand above the bookshelf is modelled by the function
where is the angle rotated by the minute hand from am.
The height, centimetres, of the endpoint of the hour hand above the bookshelf is modelled by the function
where is the angle in degrees rotated by the minute hand from am.
