A pedal on a bicycle has an arm length of 20 cm and rotates about an axle 32 cm above the ground. If the pedal states at its lowest point and rotates at 20 revolutions every minute, find a sinusoidal function that will model the height h, in centimetres, of the pedal after t seconds. At what time during the first 5 seconds will the pedal be 40 cm above the ground?

How to get answer
A pedal on a bicycle has an arm length of 20 cm and rotates about an axle 32 cm above the
ground. If the pedal states at its lowest point and rotates at 20 revolutions every minute, find a
sinusoidal function that will model the height h, in centimetres, of the pedal after t seconds. At
what time during the first 5 seconds will the pedal be 40 cm above the ground?
