20. A Ferris wheel of diameter 20 m rotates at a rate of 0.2 rad/sec. a) If a passenger boards at the lowest point of 2.5 m above the ground, determine a cosine function that models the height (h) of the passenger above the ground, in metres, as a function of time (t), in seconds. b) If the Ferris wheel makes two-thirds of a rotation, how far has the passenger traveled?
