Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{719 \pi}{21600}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\omega_{\mathrm{h}}}{\omega_{\mathrm{s}}}=\frac{\frac{2 \pi}{12 \times 60 \times 60}}{\frac{2 \pi}{60}}=\frac{1}{12 \times 60}\)
\(\omega_{\mathrm{s}}=720 \omega_{\mathrm{h}}\)
\(\frac{\omega_{\mathrm{s}}-\omega_{\mathrm{h}}}{\omega_{\mathrm{s}}}=\frac{720-1}{720}\)
\(\omega_{\mathrm{s}}-\omega_{\mathrm{h}}=\frac{719}{720} \omega_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{719}{720} \times \frac{2 \pi}{60}=\frac{719 \pi}{21600}\)
