4. A lighthouse is located 40 meters off-shore. The beam of light from the lighthouse rotates at a rate of 2
revolutions per minute clockwise. The beam hits a cliff on the beach 60 meters away, producing a dot of
light that moves horizontally along this cliff. Let be the angle between the beam and the line through
the searchlight perpendicular to the cliff. Use a trig function for the relationship.

1. The following data represents (time in s, distance traveled in meters) for a car:
(0, 0), (2, 40), (4, 85), (6, 130), (8, 180), (10, 250).
Use second order accurate formulas to approximate the speed at t = 0, t = 4 and t = 10.
Also convert the values into km per hour.
