4.440 minutes of the ride is spent higher than 37 meters above the ground.
<h3>How to find the time spent on the ride?</h3>
We have to find the amount of time spent by the ride 37 meters above the ground.
We know that 37 meters above the ground is actually one meter above the center.
We can find the angle above the center as shown below:
arcsin(1/34) = 0.0294 radians
Now we have to find the angle of rotation:
The angle of rotation of the Ferris wheel above 37 meters = π - (2*0.0294)
= 3.1 radians
The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel = Angle covered/Time
= 2π/9 rad/min.
Therefore time spent above 37 meters = 3.1*9/2π
= 3.1*9/6.28319
= 4.440 minutes
Therefore, we have found that 4.440 minutes of the ride is spent higher than 37 meters above the ground.
