Question

At the amusement park, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel, which has a maximum height of 50 meters and a diameter of 35 meters. It takes the wheel five minutes to make one revolution. Write the sinusoidal function, f(t), that models the height of your chair at any time, t.

Answer 1

Assuming your chair starts off at a height of 15m,

f(t) = 17.5sin((2pi/3)t - 0.5pi)+32.5

Answer 2

Much Thanks!
