Cherries Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 I'm having trouble with the following question: Let P be a point on the wheel (which has a diameter of 100 m). The wheel starts with P at the lowest point, at ground level. The wheel rotates at a constant rate, in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction. One revolution takes 20 minutes. What would be the height of P above ground level after 15 minutes? Thank you Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Draw the Ferris wheel at time t = 0, with P at the bottom. Draw another wheel, showing location of P, for t = 20 minutes. Then repeat for t = 10 minutes, and find the height of P. Finally, draw the wheel at t = 15 minutes and find the height of P. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
