Explanation:
We'll call the radius r and the diameter d:
We also assume that the riders are at a distance r = d/2 = 7m from the center of the wheel.
The period of the wheel is 24s. The tangent velocity of the wheel (and the riders) will be: (2pi/T)*r = 0.8 m/s (circa).
It means that in 3 minutes (180 seconds) they'll run 0.8 m/s * 180s = 144m.
Hopefully I understood the question. If yes, that's the answer.
It’s the crest, the crest is the top part of the wave and the trough is the bottom so they correspond
