Trig - Ferris wheel 2007-02-13
From Anthony:
A ferris wheel is 250 feet in diameter and revolves every 40 seconds when in motion. Your step up to seat on the wheel at the bottom 2 feet above the ground so you are sitting 4 feet above the ground to start. Derive the formula for the height of your seat at time (t). If I go three times around, how long is the ride in ditance traveled?
