3. A wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute. Through how many radians does it turn in one second?
Ans: Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 minute = 360
∴ Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 second = 360/60 = 6
In one complete revolution, the wheel turns an angle of 2 ㅠ radian.
Hence, in 6 complete revolutions, it will turn an angle of 6 × 2 ㅠ radian, i.e.,
12 ㅠ radian
Thus, in one second, the wheel turns an angle of 12ㅠ radian.
4. Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of radius 100 cm by an arc of length 22 cm
Ans: We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length / unit subtends an angle θ radian at the centre, then
Thus, the required angle is 12°36″².
5. In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm. Find the length of minor are of the chord.
Ans: Diameter of the circle = 40 cm
∴ Radius (r) of the circle =
Let AB be a chord (length = 20 cm) of the circle.
In ∆OAB , ΟΑ = OB = Radius of circle = 20 cm
Also, AB = 20cm
Thus, ∆OAB is an equilateral triangle.
We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length / unit subtends an angle θ radian at the centre, then θ = l/r.
Thus, the length of the minor arc of the chord is 20ㅠ /3 cm.
6. If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre, find the ratio of their radii.
Ans: Let the radii of the two circles be r₁and r₂. Let an arc of length / subtend an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle of radius r,, while let an arc of length / subtend an angle of 75° at the centre of the circle of radius r₂.
We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length / unit subtends an angle θ radian at the centre, then
Thus, the ratio of the radii is 5:4.

(i) 10 cm.
Ans:
(ii) 15 cm.
Ans:
(iii) 21 cm.
