Al and Betty have gone to the amusement park to ride on a Ferris wheel. The wheel in the park has a radius of 15 feet, and its center is 20 feet above ground level. Assume it takes 24 seconds to make a complete revolution. You can describe the various positions in the cycle of the Ferris wheel in terms of the face of a clock, as indicated in the accompanying diagram. Think of Al and Betty's location as they ride as simply a point on the circumference of the wheel's circular path. That is, ignore the size of the Ferris wheel seats, Al and Betty's own heights, and so on. 12:00 11:00 1:00 10:00 1) How far off the ground are Al and Betty when they are at each of the following positions? a) The 12 o'clock position b) The 9 o'clock position c) The 6 o'clock position d) The 8 o'clock position e) 10 seconds after passing the 11 o'clock position? 9:00 8:00 7:00 6:00 5:00 2:00 3:00 4:00
