The Ferris Wheel In 1893, George Ferris engineered the Ferris Wheel. It was 250 feet in diameter. If the wheel make 1revolutionevery40seconds, then the function h(t)=125sin0.157t-2+125 represents the height h, in feet, of a seat on the wheel as a function of time t, where t is measured in seconds. The ride begins when t = 0.

(a) During the first 40 seconds of the ride, at what time t is

an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 125 feet above

the ground?

(b) During the first 80 seconds of the ride, at what time t is

an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 250 feet above

the ground?

(c) During the first 40 seconds of the ride, over what interval

of timet is an individual on the Ferris Wheel more than

125 feet above the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a. At time10or30seconds an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 125 feet above

the ground.

Part b. At time20or60seconds an individual on the Ferris Wheel exactly 250 feet above

the ground.

Part c. At the interval,10,30an individual on the Ferris Wheel is more than 125feet above the ground.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information

The given function ish(t)=125sin0.157t-2+125wherethe heighth, in feet, of a seat on the wheel as a function of timet, wheret is measured in seconds. We have to find time for an individual on the Ferris wheel exactly 125above the ground.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Finding the time

To find the time, substitute 125 to the given function.

h(t)=125sin0.157t-2+125125=125sin0.157t-2+1250=125sin0.157t-20=sin0.157t-2sin-10=0.157t-2Sinefunctionisequalto0whentheangleare0and.0.157t-2=0or0.157t-2=0.157t=2or0.157t=+20.157t=1.57or0.157t=4.17t=10ort=30

Thus, the individual on the Ferris wheel exactly 125 feet above on the ground is at time10or30seconds.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Finding the time

To find the time, substitute 250 to the given function.

h(t)=125sin0.157t-2+125250=125sin0.157t-2+125250-125=sin0.157t-2125125=sin0.157t-21=sin0.157t-2sin-11=0.157t-2

Now, during the first 80seconds of the ride, the wheel will complete two revolutions. Thus, the interval will be [0,4).

Sinefunctionisequalto1whentheangleare2and52.0.157t-2=2or0.157t-2=520.157t=22or0.157t=52+20.157t=or0.157t=30.157t=3.14or0.157t=9.42t=20ort=60

Thus, an individual on the Ferris wheel exactly250feet above the ground at20or60seconds.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Finding the interval

As we know that an individual on the Ferris wheel exactly 125feet above the ground at the time 10or30seconds.

So, an individual on the Ferris Wheel more than 125feet above the ground at the time between intervals 10or30seconds,10<t<30.

The interval will be10,30.

Movie Theater Screens Suppose that a movie theater has a screen that is 28feet tall. When you sit down, the bottom of the screen is 6feet above your eye level. The angle formed by drawing a line from your eye to the bottom of the screen and your eye and the top of the screen is called the viewing angle. In the figure, is the viewing angle. Suppose that you sit xfeet from the screen. The viewing angle is given by the function:

x=tan-134x-tan-16x

(a) What is your viewing angle if you sit 10feet from the screen? 15feet? 20feet?

(b) If there is 5feet between the screen and the first row of seats and there is 3feet between each row, which row results in the largest viewing angle?

(c) Using a graphing utility, graph

x=tan-134x-tan-16x.

Rewrite in terms of sine and cosine functions: cot()sec()

Constructing a Rain Gutter A rain gutter is to be constructed of aluminum sheets 12inches wide. After marking off a length of 4inches from each edge, this length is bent up at an angle . See the illustration. The area Aof the opening as a function of is given by

A()=16sin(cos+1)0<<90

(a) In calculus, you will be asked to find the angle that maximizes Aby solving the equation

cos(2)+cos=0,0<<90

Solve this equation for

(b)What is the maximum area Aof the opening?

(c)Graph A=A(),090, and find the angle that maximizes the area A. Also find the maximum area. Compare the results to the answer found earlier.

Projectile Motion The range R of a projectile propelled downward from the top of an inclined plane at an angle to the inclined plane is given by

R()=2v02sincos()gcos2

where vois the initial velocity of the projectile, is the angle the plane makes with respect to the horizontal, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

(a) Show that for fixed voand the maximum range down the incline is given by

Rmax=v02g(1sin)

(b) Determine the maximum range if the projectile has an initial velocity of 50meters/second, the angle of the plane is =35o, and g=9.8 meters/second2.
