Ferris Wheel Motion Jacob and Emily ride a Ferris
wheel at a carnival in Billings, Montana. The wheel has a
16-m diameter and turns at 3 rpm with its lowest point I m
above the ground. Assume that Jacob and Emily's height h
above the ground is a sinusoidal function of time 1 (in
seconds), where 1 = 0 represents the lowest point of the
(a) Write an equation for h. h(t)=-8 cos (Ft) + 9
(b) Draw a graph of h for 0 ≤r≤ 30.
Sec
(c) Use à to estimate Jacob and Emily's height above the
ground at 1 = 4 and / = 10. h (4) --8 cos ( 76. 4) + 9 = 6.52 m
h (10) = -8 cos (7/10) +9 = 17m.
(d) How long after the ride begins will Jacob and Emily be exactly at a height of 8 m?
