A clock is hung on a wall so that the center is 20 cm below the ceiling. The minute hand is 10 cm long, and the hour hand is 6 cm long. Find a function m(t) that gives the distance the tip of the minute hand is from the ceiling as a function of minutes past midnight. The function should have the form m(t)=Acos(Bt−C)+D
