As you ride a Ferris wheel, the height you are above ground varies periodically. Consider the height of the center of the wheel to be the equilibrium point. Suppose the diameter of the Ferris wheel is 42 feet and it travels at a rate of 3 revolutions per minute. At the highest point, a seat on the Ferris wheel is 46 feet above ground
