Question
Answer the following :
A train is running on a circular track of radius 1 km at the rate of 36 km per hour. Find the angle, to the nearest minute, through which it will turn in 30 seconds.

Solution
Distance travelled by the train on the circular track in 1 hour, i.e., in 60 minutes = 36 km
∴ distance travelled in 30 seconds, i.e., in `1/2` minute
= `36/60 xx 1/2`
= `3/10 "km"`
Let θ be the required angle.
Then S = rθ
where S = distance travelled in 30 seconds
= `3/10"km"` and r = 1 km
∴ `3/10` = 1 x θ
∴ θ = `(3/10)^"c"`
Now, 1c = `(180/pi)^circ`
∴ `(3/10)^"c" = (3/10 xx 180/pi)^circ`
= `(54/pi)^circ`
= `((54 xx 7)/22)^circ`
= 17.18°
= 17° + 0.18°
= 17° + (0.18 x 60)'
= 17° + (10.8)'
= 17°11' ...(approx.)
Hence, the required angle = 17°11' ...(approx.)
