Here is an outline of the solution: Find the velocity of a point on the rim by multiplying the radius times the angular velocity in radians per second (converted from 1 rev per 3 min.). The direction of the rim velocity is tangent to the rim. You have to find the vertical component of this velocity using trig. You find the necessary angle to do this by drawing a radial line to the point on the rim that is 24 m above ground level. There are several parts to this problem, so good luck.

How long does it take a ray of light to travel 3 x 106 meters through free space Speed of light 3 x 105?
First of all, the speed of light is 3 x 108 meters per second, not 3 x 105.It will take 10 milliseconds for a ray of light to travel 3 x 106 meters at a speed of 3 x 108 meters per second.If the number in the question were correct, which they are not, the answer would be ten seconds.
