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 |
