How many times in a day are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
I had no idea about that. Can you tell me more about how mechanical clocks work?
Sure! Mechanical clocks use a swinging pendulum or a balance wheel and an escapement mechanism to keep time. The pendulum or balance wheel swings back and forth, and the escapement mechanism releases the gears at a steady rate, keeping the hands moving at an accurate pace.
