larger and slower than its modern counterparts. It had a diameter of 250 feet and
contained 36 cars, each of which held 40 people. It made one revolution every 10
minutes and reached a maximum height of 264 feet. Grover Cleveland was given a
private ride. He got on and the wheel starting slowly turning.
a.) Sketch a graph of this sinusoid.
b.) Write an equation expressing Grover’s height above the ground in terms of time (in
minutes) since the Ferris wheel started turning.
c.) How high was Grover after 16 minutes?
th
d.) When was he 200 feet above the ground for the 4
time?
