4. At a country fair, the Ferris wheel has a diameter of 32 metres, and its centre is 18 metres above the ground. The wheel completes one revolution every 30 seconds. a) Graph a rider's height above the ground, in metres, versus time in seconds, during a two minute ride. b) What is the period and what does it represent in this situation? c) At what time is the Ferris wheel at its maximum height during the two minute ride?
