1. The problem statement, all variables
Ferris wheel 1 has constant angular velocity A with radius M described by parametric equations
X=Mcos(At)
Y=Msin(At) + M
Ferris wheel2 has constant angular velocity of B with radius N described by parametric equations
X= Ncos(Bt) + H
Y=Nsin(Bt) + N
At what time are the two point on each Ferris wheel right on top of each other if these two points start at angle 0 for both Ferris wheels?
Parametric equations for the two Ferris wheels
When the two points of each Ferris wheel intersect, the x and y coordinates for that point of intersection are the same from each Ferris wheel.
I equated the times for x coordinates of Ferris wheel 1 and Ferris wheel 2. Help me
