Clock



 A clock is a circular object with three hands: an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. Horology is the scientific study of clocks.

[A clock's twelve equal divisions]

# The angle formed by any two successive divisions is equal to (360°)/12, or 30°.

[Clock's angle divisions]

A detailed examination of a clock reveals that there are five more divisions in the angular space between any two consecutive divisions. 5 minutes are equal to the space between the two divisions. The angular value of a minute will be obtained by diving the 30° by five.

A minute's angle is equal to (30°)/5=6°.

[Angular minutes values]

The angular values for the first ten minutes are shown in the table below:


Minute(s)Angular values
1
212°
318°
424°
530°
636°
742°
848°
954°
1060°

Problems with clocks are divided into four modules:

  • Time Point (or) Time Angle
  • Point Time (or) Angle Time
  • Reflect Time (or) Mirror Time
  • Slow Quick Clocks (or)Slow Fast Clocks
