Riding on a Ferris wheel |
2014-03-21 |
|
From Claire:
A Ferris wheel has a radius of 72 feet and its center is 85 feet above the ground. At the top of the Ferris wheel, Sam is in the topmost car. If the Ferris wheel makes two complete revolutions per minute, how high above the ground will Sam be after 10 seconds?

Trig - Ferris wheel |

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?
