On what principle does a bicycle work ? What is the mechanical advantage of abicycle? Determine the velocityratio of a bicycle in which the ratio of teeth on the rear sprocketwheel to that on the front wheel is 1: 3.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Consider how the effort applied is transmitted.
(ii) Bicycle uses more thanone simple machine.
(III) Let L = LENGTH of pedal
E = effort applied on pedal
W = load to be overcome
R = radius of rear wheel
(iii) Find the M.A. of cycle using principle of lever: effort `xx` DISPLACEMENT of effort = load `xx` displacement of load
`M.A. = (W)/(E)`
(iv) Velocity ratio = ratio of number of teeth on front wheel to that on rear SPROCKET wheel
