Can someone tell me how the London Eye(the worlds biggest farris wheel) has to do with math?

Answer 1

Lots of ways. In building it, for instance, the engineers had to know what size and how many steel beams to use to make it the size they wanted without it falling apart from its own weight, not to mention collapsing the first time the ride was full. The specific shape of the wheel and its structural support would have to be figured out mathematically. From an economic standpoint, they had to figure out how much to charge so that they could afford to pay for the thing without driving customers off. That would involve figuring out how much power the thing would use, what kind and how much maintenance would have to be performed on it, right down to how often they'd have to clean the thing and how much to pay people to do it.

I'm sure there are other ways, but those are what come to me off the top of my head. Be creative!

Answer 2

trigonometry

the height(in meters) of the rider on the London eye after t minutes
can be described by the function
h(t)=70+67sin (pie over 15) (t - 30)
1 what is the diameter of this Ferris wheel?
2 where is The rider at a= 0?
3 how high off the ground is the rider at the top of the wheel
4 At what time (s) will the rider be at the bottom of the Ferris wheel?
5 How long does it take for the Ferris wheel to go though on rotation

Answer 3

well...it is a circle. that's geometry. and technicians also have to program it right so that it has the correct timing when it turns.
