The pedals of a bicycle are mounted on a bracket whose centre is 25cm above the ground. Each pedal is 15cm from the bracket. The rider completes 4 cycles every minute. Assuming that you start pedaling with the pedal in the lowest position, write an equation to represent the height of the pedal (cm) as a function of time (s).
