Problem 2: Matthew determined that it takes 75 seconds for him to complete one revolution on a Ferris wheel that has a radius ofr feet. a) Determine the speed that Matthew travels (in radius lengths per second). b) Determine a function m that represents Matthew's directed horizontal distance from the vertical diameter (measured in feet), in terms of the time elapsed (measured in seconds) since he started travelling from the o'clock position going counterclockwise. We suggest first drawing a diagram of the situation. c) Sketch a graph of the function m and mark the interval of input values on which the function values complete one full cycle.
