Answer to Problem 20PP

The force exerted by the chain to keep the wheel from turning is Fchain=789N .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The mass of the bicyclist is m=65kg .

The length of the crank is r1=0.170m .

The angle made by the crank with the vertical is θ=45° .

The radius of the chain wheel is r2=9.70cm .

Formula used:

The expression for the torque is,

  τ=Frsinθ

Here, F is the applied force, r is the radius of the wheel, and θ is the angle made by an object with the vertical.

Calculation:

Consider a crank is connected to a chained wheel.

The crank connected to the wheel is shown in Figure below.

  Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems, Student Edition, Chapter 8.2, Problem 20PP

The weight of the bicyclist is denoted by Fg .

The force exerted by the chain is denoted by Fchain .

Consider the torque exerted by the weight of the bicyclist is denoted by τbicyclist .

Consider the torque exerted by the force of chain is denoted by τchain .

Consider the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth is g=9.80m/s2 .

The torque exerted by the weight of the bicyclist is,

  τbicyclist=Fgr1sinθ1=(mg)r1sin(45°)=(65kg×9.80m/s2)×0.170m×(12)=(637kgm/s2×1N1kgm/s2)×0.170m×(12)

  τbicyclist=(637N)×0.170m×(12)=76.57Nm

The torque exerted by the force of chain is,

  τchain=Fchainr2sinθ2=Fchain(9.70cm×1m100cm)sin(90°)=(0.097m)Fchain

For the equilibrium of the chain wheel,

  τchain=τbicyclist(0.097m)Fchain=76.57NmFchain=76.57Nm0.097mFchain=789N

Conclusion:

Therefore, the force exerted by the chain to keep the wheel from turning is Fchain=789N .
