Clock Formulas

Formula and Basic Concepts of Clock


A Clock a circle having 360 degrees . It is divided into 12 equal parts
numbered from 1 to 12 .Each part is 360/12 = 30°.  When the minute
hand takes a complete round i.e covers 360° known as one hour. A Clock
has two hands that is the hour hand and the minute hand. Both hands
move around the circular dial. The hour hand is smaller than the minute
hand and the hour hand is slower than the minute hand.  shows time in
HOME hours and the minute hand shows time in minutes. On this page we’ll
look for some of the basic Formulas for Clocks.
