8. A Ferris wheel ride is to be built next to a 19 metre high building. Riders get on at the lowest point of the
Ferris wheel which is 3.5 m above the ground. The ride lasts 7 minutes and the Ferris wheel completing 12
revolutions per ride. The centre of the wheel is at 14.5 metres above the ground.
a) Draw a fully labelled graph of the function for only the first two revolutions of the ride using time in
seconds.
b) Determine a cosine equation that models the height h, in metres with respect to time t, in seconds.
c) Determine how long a rider is below the height of the building for each 7 minute ride.
