When is the rate of separation between the ends of the hour and minute hands of a clock at a maximum?
Clicking the Play button will set the clock in motion and trace out a graph of the distance between the ends of the clock hands and the derivative of that curve.
You will likely need to increase the vertical scale of the graph to locate the maximum point.
The refresh button will return the applet to its initial state.
