36 meters in diameter ... A=18
y = 18sin(x)
board on a platform that is 1 meter above the ground.
y = 19 - 18cos(x)
1 full revolution in 9 minutes
y = 19 - 18cos(2π/9 x)
now you know all about the function.
A Ferris wheel is 36 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o’clock position of the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 9 minutes. What is the height of the rider after 2 minutes into the ride?
