As you may remember, the Ferris wheel at the amusement park where Al and Betty like to ride has a radius of 15 feet, and its center is 20 feet above ground level. This is not the same Ferris wheel as the one at the circus. The park's Ferris wheel turns with a constant angular speed. It takes 24 seconds for a complete turn. The fence around the amusement park is 13 feet high. Once Al and Betty get above the fence, there is a wonderful view. 1. During one revolution, what percentage of the time are Al and Betty above the height of the fence?
