a.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The radius of the clock is
Calculations:
The shape of a clock is a circle.
The rectangular equation of a circle is,
Let the clock starts at origin, therefore
Thus the equation becomes,
The radius of the clock is
Thus the equation becomes,
b.

b.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The radius of the clock is
Calculations:
The shape of a clock is a circle.
The rectangular equation of a circle is,
Let the clock starts at origin, therefore
Thus the equation becomes,
The radius of the clock is
Thus the equation becomes,
Now the parametric equation of the circle is
Thus the parametric equation of the tip of the point is
c.
The graph of the motion of the clock.
c.
Explanation of Solution
The shape of a clock is a circle.
The rectangular equation of a circle is,
