clock at the post office has a minute hand that is 1.75m long and an hour hand that is 1.26m long. a) After 60 minutes, what is the length of the arc swept by the hour hand and the minute hand on the circular dial? b) The clock is currently pointing at 12 o;clock. How long does it take for the arc swept by the minute hand to be 20 times longer than the arc swept
