Question
g While riding a multispeed bicycle, the rider can select the radius of the rear sprocket that is fixed to the rear axle. The front sprocket of a bicycle has radius 14.0cm. If the angular speed of the front sprocket is 0.700 rev/s,what is the radius of the rear sprocket for which the tangential speed of a point on the rim of the rear wheel will be 6.00 m/s? The rear wheel has radius 0.350m.

Answer:
R = 3.59 cm
Explanation:
Angular speed of rear wheel and sprocket
ω = v/R = 6.00 / 0.350 = 17.1428 rad/s
Tangential speed of the front sprocket is
v = ωR = 0.700(2π)(14.0) = 61.5752… cm/s
we want the rear sprocket to have the same tangential speed as the front sprocket.
61.5752 = 17.1428R
R = 3.59188
