Question

The Singapore Flyer, currently the world's largest Ferris wheel, completes one rotation every 37 minutes. Measuring 150m in diameter, the Flyer is set atop a terminal building, with a total height of 165 m from the ground to the top of the wheel. When viewed from Marina Centre, it turns in the clockwise direction. State the o'clock position on the wheel and height above the ground of a person who has ridden the wheel for 9.25 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Don't you have a diagram or something? How are we supposed to know where Marina Center is in relation to the wheel?

Answer 4

This is all I got! lol It's either, 3,6, 9, or 12 o'clock where the person is standing and I have to find out the height in meters.

Answer 5

Well, in 9.25 minutes, it makes 1/4 turn. And since it turn clockwise, I guess, after 1/4 turn it would be at 9 o'clock.
