The diameter of a Ferris wheel is 125 feet, it rotates counterclockwise at 2.5 revolutions per minute, and the bottom of the wheel is 6 feet above the ground. Find an equation that gives a passenger's height h above the ground at any time t during the ride. Assume the passenger starts the ride at the bottom of the wheel.
