7. Following graph is the chain gear system of a bicycle. The crank `Rc = 20.0\ cm`, `R_1 = 10.0\ cm`, `R_2 = 5.00\ cm` and `R_w = 30.0 cm`. If `F_(i n) = 500\ N` a) Find tension `T` on the chain? b) If the total mass of biker and bicycle is `100\ kg`. What is the the acceleration of the bicycle?

Hint
Wheel and axle: `τ_(i n) = τ_(out)`
Answer
a) `T = 1000\ N` b) `a = 1.67 m//s^2`
Show Steps
Given: `R_c = 20.0\ cm` `R_1 = 10.0\ cm` `R_2 = 5.00\ cm` `R_w = 30.0 cm` `F_(i n) = 500\ N` Wheel and axle: `τ_(i n) = τ_(out)` Solution: a) `τ_(i n) = τ_(out)` `=>` `F_(i n) R_c = T R_1` `T = F_(i n) R_c /R_1` `T = ( 500\ N) (20.0\ cm) /(10.0\ cm)`
`T = 1000\ N`
b) Given: `M = 100 kg` `τ_(i n) = τ_(out)` `=>` `TR_2 = F_(out)R_w` `F_(out) = T R_2/R_w` `F_(out) =(1000\ N)(5.00\ cm)/(30.0\ cm)` `F_(out) = 167\ N` `F_(out) = Ma` `a = F_(out)/M` `a = (167\ N) / (100 kg)`
`a = 1.67 m//s^2`
