The first Ferris wheel was designed

and built by an American engineer
named George W. G. Ferris in 1893.
The radius of the wheel was 125 feet.
A Ferris wheel modeled on the
original design takes 20 seconds
to complete one revolution
counterclockwise.
8. Suppose a Ferris wheel with the
above characteristics is tested
for functionality. Two engineers
are in non-adjacent cars where
the central angle between the
π
cars is 6radians. Find the arc
length between the cars of the
engineers. Show your work.

9. A teacher places a sketch of the original Ferris wheel on a coordinate plane.

The center of the Ferris wheel is at the origin, and one car lies on the x-axis
at (125, 0). The teacher wants to demonstrate the relationship between the
number of seconds a car has been moving and the distance in feet between
the car and the horizontal axis.

Construct a graph that relates the amount of

time the car is in motion (from time = 0 seconds
to time = 40 seconds) to the position of the car
with respect to the horizontal axis. Describe the
steps you took to make your graph.
