- 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) Previewarrow_forwardA toy car moves round a circular track of radius 3.5 m.
