A ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 2 meters above the ground.
so the axle is (50/2)+2 = 27 meters up. That's the mid-line, yeah?
and clearly the amplitude is 1/2 the diameter, or 25
so what else do you know?
A ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 2 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 8 minutes. The function h = f(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn.
What is the Amplitude?
