    For those of whom who are as bored as I am at work today.

    My watch has 6 hands, each depicting a different unit of time. For example: a second hand, a minute hand….etc….

    Combined, all 6 watch hands have a cumulative rotational velocity of 1,0188524065537411rpm +/-1x10^13

    What do each of the 6 hands tell me?

    Eg.

    Hand 1....second hand, does one revolution every 60 seconds.
    Hand 2….
    Hand 3….
    Hand 4….
    Hand 5….
    Hand 6….



    Should keep you entertained for a few minutes. have fun :)

    Considering that the hands are going around a billion times a minute, its hardly that

    its probably closer to
    second,
    millisecond
    nano second, etc

    I think its actually 10 to the power of 15, which is a quadrillion.

    so, six hands that add up to over a quadrillion Revs in a minute.

    though, I may be mistaken.
