A 12-hour clock has a minute hand that is the same length as the second hand, and an hour hand half the length of the minute hand. In a day, the tip of the minute hand travels a distance of <math>m,</math> the tip of the second hand travels a distance of <math>s,</math> and the tip of the hour hand travels a distance of <math>h.</math> The value of <math>\frac{m^2}{hs}</math> can be expressed as <math>\frac{a}{b}</math>, where <math>a</math> and <math>b</math> are relatively prime positive integers. Find <math>a+b</math>.

Roy is baking a circular three tier cake. All of the tiers are centered around the same point. Each tier's radius is <math>\frac{3}{4}</math> of the radius of the tier below it, but the height of each tier stays constant. Roy wants to ice the cake, but only on the curved surfaces of the cake and the top of the smallest tier. The diameter of the lowest tier is <math>128</math> centimeters and its height is <math>10</math> centimeters.
