Chapter 4.1, Problem 1cT

Suppose the wheel makes one complete revolution in 2 seconds.

  1. For each of the following points, find the change in angle Δ θ of the position vector during one second. (i.e., Find the angle between the initial position vectors.)

  • point A
  • point B
  • point C

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 42.4 feet. The bottom of the Ferris wheel sits 0.8 feet above the ground. You board the Ferris wheel at the 6 o'clock position and rotate counter- clockwise. a. Define a function, f that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the angle of rotation (measured in radians) you have swept out from the 6 o'clock position, a f(a)-42.4sin(a)+43.2 Preview b. Define a function, g, that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the number of feet you have rotated counter-clockwise from the 6 o'clock position, s. g(s)=43.2+42.2sin(s/42.4) Preview
