4. The vertical position, h, in metres, of a Ferris wheel is modeled using the function h(t) = 7 sin (t – 5)|+ 12, where t is the time, in seconds, and h is the height in metres. (a) Determine the period and amplitude of this function. Explain the meaning of these quantities within the context of the question. (b) Calculate the height at t = 35 seconds. (c) Determine the first time that the height is 16 m.
