At the amusement park, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel, which has a maximum height of 50 meters and a diameter of 35 meters. It takes the wheel three minutes to make one revolution. If you start your ride at the midline and the ferris wheel rotates counter clockwise, how many seconds will it take for your seat to reach a height of 50 meters? Round the answer to the nearest second.

Respuesta :

Answer:45 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

max. height=50 m

Diameter of Wheel =35 m

i.e. wheel center is at a  distance of 15+17.5=32.5m above ground

Time taken by to complete to complete a revolution is 3 min

i.e. if you are at midline then you need to complete one-fourth of revolution to

reach the top.

Therefore time taken will be one-fourth of total time .

[tex]\fac{3}{4} min=\frac{3}{4}\times 60[/tex]=45 sec
