Question 4 of 17 • Algebra 2 MP 2,3,4 CHS

The blades of a windmill turn on an axis that is 30 feet from the ground. The blades are 10 feet long and complete 2 rotations every minute. Write a sine model, y = asin(bt) + k, for the height (in feet) of the end of one blade as a function of time t (in seconds). Assume the blade is pointing to the right when and that the windmill turns counterclockwise at a constant rate.
