Question 1137660: A ferris wheel is 35 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position on the ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 4 minutes. The function h = f(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. Write an equation for h = f(t). Answer by ikleyn(52855) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
h = f(t) = + ,
where t is measured in minutes and h is measured in meters.
Notice that the problem does not establish the direction of rotation (clockwise or anticlockwise).
