Question

Estimate the maximum torque that a bicyclist can deliver to the pedals. Assume that her inertia is 50 kg, that she is not wearing toe clips, and that she does not pull up very hard on the handlebars while she pushes down on the pedals. Also assume that the crank length (from axle to pedal) is 0.16 m.

Answer 1

Torque Z= 8 x manimum horque is Iman = 0.16 x 50 x Iman =rof= rng 9.8 as tman = 78.4 Nom
