A Ferris Wheel has a radius of 20 m and its centre is 21.5 m above the ground. It rotates once every
30 seconds. Suppose a person gets on the ride at the bottom of the wheel at t=0. Write an equation for the function.

since h(0) is a minimum, you want something of the form
h(t) = A - Bcos(kt)
cos(kt) has a period of 2π/k
A will be the height of the wheel's axle (the center line)
B is the amplitude (wheel's radius)
Post your work if you get stuck
