Radians on the Circle of a Ferris Wheel
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Suppose the cars on a Ferris wheel are located on a circle at increments of 
radians. This Demonstration lets you choose the color of the Ferris wheel and install the cars up to a given number of radians. You can then spin the part of the Ferris wheel you have constructed.
