Riders on a Ferris wheel travel in a circle in a vertical plane.  A particular wheel has radius 20 feet and revolves at the constant rate of one revolution per minute.  How many seconds does it take a rider to travel from the bottom of the wheel to a point 20 vertical feet above the bottom?

10 seconds

Explanation: The 'triangle' would be a 30-60-90 one, so the answer is 1/6*60 = 10.
