Wilson places a measuring tape on a pillar of a dock to record the water level in his local coastal community. He finds that a high tide of 1.77 m occurs at 5:17 a.m., and a low tide of 0.21 m occurs at 11:38 a.m. (App /1+/1+ /2 + (2) a) Estimate the period of the fluctuation of the water level. Show reasoning. b) Estimate the amplitude of the pattern. Show work c) Predict when the next two high tides will occur. Show) your work. d) Predict when the next two low tides will occur. Explain!

The jack on an oil well goes up and down, pumping oil out of the ground. As it does so, the distance varies sinusoidally with time. At time = 1 sec, the distance is at its maximum, 3.7 meters. At time = 4 sec, distance is at its minimum, 1.5 m. Write an equation to model the motion of the jack.
A ferris wheel has a radius of 28 feet and completes 3 revolution in 1.5 minutes. Assume the nder begins at the lowest point of the wheel, 2 feet above ground level. Model the height of the rider, in feet above the ground, as a function of time in seconds, using a sine equation with only positive numbers in the final equation.
The airspeed indicator of an airplane reads 400 knots. There are no instrument or position errors. The airplane is flying at a pressure altitude of 25,000 feet. If the outside air temperature is minus 40 degrees Celsius, what is the true airspeed of the airplane?
