Consider a ferris wheel that measures 400ft in diameter and

Consider a ferris wheel that measures 400ft in diameter and spins at a constant speed completing a rotation once every 30 minutes. Assume you board the ferris wheel at the bottom at time zero. This is the same set up as the very first ferris wheel we considered in the video. The difference is that you need to determine the function x= g(t) which gives your horizontal position as a function of time. Assume where you board the ferris wheel at the bottom has a horizontal position of zero. Provide a plot for x = g(t) that shows at least 2 rotations around the ferris wheel. Hint: the horizontal position will take on both positive and negative values.
