36. A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating
upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger
cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel
turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.

who were enjoying the ride. She was curious about the different angles and measures that the wheel
will form. She forms the figure as given above.
