used to pick up an object at point A and release it at
point B. Find the new position of the object relative to
the pivot point O for a robotic arm that is 3 meters long
and that rotates through an angle of 150.

function of time. Consider the height of the center of
the wheel to be the starting point. A particular Ferris
wheel has a diameter of 42 feet, and travels at a rate of
3 revolutions per minute.

the period is the time that it takes to complete one
revolution, which is

of a minute or 20 seconds.
Make a graph in which the horizontal axis represents
the time in t seconds and the vertical axis represents
the height h in feet in relation to the starting point.

a maximum height of
or 21 feet above the starting
point and a minimum of 21 feet below the starting point.
