The angular speed of the seconds needle in a mechanical watch is:

A

π30\frac{\pi}{30} rad/s

B

2π2\pi rad/s

C

π\pi rad/s

D

60π60\pi rad/s

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Definition: Angular speed (ω\omega) is defined as the angle covered per unit time. For a complete revolution, the angle covered is 2π2\pi radians.
  2. Time Period: The time period (TT) is the time taken to complete one full revolution. For the seconds needle of a watch, it takes 60 seconds to complete one circle (T=60 sT = 60\text{ s}).
  3. Calculation: Using the formula ω=2πT\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} : ω=2π60=π30 rad/s\omega = \frac{2\pi}{60} = \frac{\pi}{30} \text{ rad/s}.
