A Ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 4 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 4 minutes. How many minutes of the ride are spent higher than 40 meters above the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will take more than 0.92 minutes to reach higher than 40 meters above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the Ferris wheel is 50 meters.

The radius of the Ferris wheel is 25 meters.

1 full revolution takes 4 minutes time.

1 full revolution covers [tex]2\pi \times radius = 2\pi 25 = 50\pi[/tex] meters distance.

The distance that is needed to be covered is (40 - 4) = 36 meters.

In order to cover [tex]50\pi[/tex] meters distance, it will take [tex]\frac{4 \times36}{50\pi } = 0.92[/tex] minutes.
