Answer to Problem 93E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A Ferris wheel is built such that the height
Find the period of the model. What does the period tell you about the ride?
Calculation: The height of the seat from the ground on Ferris wheel ig given by,
It is known for a function of the form
This shift is
The period of the model
The period is found to be
Hence, the Ferris wheel complete one ride in
b.
The amplitude of the model.
What does the amplitude tell you about the ride?
b.
Answer to Problem 93E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A Ferris wheel is built such that the height
Find the amplitude of the model. What does the amplitude tell you about the ride?
Calculation:
The height of the seat from the ground on Ferris wheel ig given by,
It is known for a function of the form
This shift is
The amplitude of the model
The amplitude is found to be
Hence, it means a Ferris wheel has a ride of height
c.
Graph one cycle of the model.
