Question: For this problem, you will be modeling the horizontal and vertical displacement of a Ferris wheel using the following equations: x = Asin ( Bt
For this problem, you will be modeling the horizontal and vertical displacement of a Ferris wheel using the following equations:
x AsinBt Cx
y AcosBt Cy
In this equation, x and y are the horizontal and vertical displacements, A is the amplitude, B relates to the period, C is the vertical shift, and t is the time.
a Create an array t from to minutes in increments of seconds.
b The amplitude for both x and y is meters. Assign this value to A
c Each revolution of the Ferris takes exactly minutes. Determine the period for both x and
y Assign the value to B
d The vertical shift for x and y is and meters respectively. Assign these values to C
e On a x subplot grid, plot the following after calculating x and y:
i Plot the horizontal displacement vs time with a magenta dashed line. Title this: Ferris Wheel Horizontal Displacement
ii Plot the vertical displacement vs time with a red dashdotted line. Title this: Ferris Wheel Vertical Displacement
iii Plot the vertical displacement vs horizontal displacement with green square markers. Title this: Ferris Wheel Model
f Make sure to appropriately label the xaxis and yaxis for each plot include the units as well
