The hands of clock A point to 6 o clock. At the moment past 6 the minute hand traveling downwards will have a increase of speed of x% every minute due to gravity. At 6:15 the speed of the minute minute hand will be of constant speed until 6:30. Since the hour hand at 6 is traveling upwards against gravity, its motion will be slowed by y% every hour until 9:00. After 9 the hand will have a constant speed until midnight. If clock B is place in a weightless enviroment, the minute and hour hand will perfectly match each other some time after 6 o clock. The hands of clock A will do the same, although at a different time. In terms of x and y, the absolute difference in times when this will happen is what?
