Explanation

Length of the seconds hand = r = 0.1m but the seconds hand rotates through 360° or 2π rad in 60s.

Thus, ω = θ =
60


Velocity of the tip of the hand, V = ωr

V =
60
× 0.1 =
600
= π
300
= 3.142
300


V = 0.01047 = 1.05 × 10\(^{-2}\)ms\(^{-1}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
