Which info is NOT needed to find the equation modeling the situation of the Ferris Wheel? Explain. 30 feet to the right of our frame of reference isnot needed because we are modeling heightabove the ground not distance from ourreference.15 seconds is not needed because we aremodeling with a sinusoidal function andeverything needs to be scaled by T.The diameter of 20 feet is not needed becausewe are modeling the distance from the center ofthe Ferris wheel and the diameter does not help.23 feet above the ground is not needed becausewe are modeling height with respect to time andthe Ferris wheel is always moving.All of the information is important in modelingthis situation with a sinusoidal equation. As you ride a Ferris wheel moving counter-clockwise at aconstant rate, your distance from the ground variessinusoidally with time. You are the last seat to be filled atthe bottom of the Ferris wheel and then it starts. Let yourseat be point P located on the circumference of the Ferriswheel. Let t be the number of sec-onds that have elapsedsince the Ferris wheel started. You find that it takes you 15seconds for point P to reach the top, 23 feet above theground. The diameter of the wheel is 20 feet. The center ofthe Ferris wheel is located 30 feet to the right of ourdesignated frame of reference. You are to model thedistance d of point P from the ground.
