You have your bicycle upside down while you adjust the chain. The chain is wound around the rear wheels small gear, which has a radius of 4.0 cm. At the pedals, the chain is wound around the large gear, which has a radius of 11.0 cm. The radius of the rear wheel is 35.0 cm. You spin the pedals initially so they finish two revolutions in 1.0 s, starting from rest. Assume constant acceleration.  Calculate the linear acceleration of the chain.
