A circular clock is positioned on a wall such that the lowest point on the clock is 2.8 meters above the floor. The clock has a diameter of 30 cm. The minute hand of the clock reaches to the very circumference of the clock's face. The vertical distance from the floor to the tip of the minute hand can be modeled by a trigonometric function. Create a trigonometric function to model this situation, and determine about how far the minute hand is above the floor at 1:17 pm.
