11. A Ferris wheel has a radius of 20 meters, and the center of the wheel is 23 meters off the ground. At the initial time a seat is at the bottom of the wheel. (a) (6 pts) A couple sit in the bottom seat, and the wheel is rotated radians counter- clockwise. What is the seat's height above the ground? (b) (5 pts) The Ferris wheel moves with a constant rate of revolution, and it makes one revolution every 3 minutes. Determine the height above the ground of the seat at any time.
