A Ferris wheel has a radius of 30 m and its centre is 32 m above the
ground. It rotates once every 48 s. Ethan gets on the Feris wheel at the
lowest point and then the wheel starts to rotate. The amount of time it
takes Ethan to reach 38 m above the ground for the first time, to the
nearest tenth of a second, is
S.
Your answer
