Consider a ferris wheel that measures 400ft in diameter andspins at a constant speed completing a rotation once every 30minutes. Assume you board the ferris wheel at the bottom at timezero. This is the same set up as the very first ferris wheel weconsidered in the video. The difference is that you need todetermine the function x = g(t) which gives your horizontalposition as a function of time. Assume where you board the ferriswheel at the bottom has a horizontal position of zero. Provide aplot for x = g(t) that shows at least 2 rotations around the ferriswheel. Hint: the horizontal position will take on both positive andnegative values.
