Question
Where will the hand of a clock stop if it starts at 2 and makes `1/2` of a revolution, clockwise?
Solution
In 1 complete clockwise revolution, the hand of a clock will rotate by 360º.
If the hand of the clock starts at 2 and makes `1/2` of a revolution clockwise, then it will rotate by 180º and hence, it will stop at 8.
