Introduction: The pedal of a bicycle is attached to a crank arm that revolves when thepedal is pushed by a person’s foot. As the crank arm turns, it pulls a chain that isattached to the rear wheel of the bicycle, causing the bicycle to move forward. A particular bicycle has wheels that are 66 cm in diameter. The radius of the crank armis 18 cm. At its lowest point, the pedal is 16 cm above the ground. A person is pedalingthe bicycle such that the crank arm rotates once every second. Questions:4. Determine an equation that would model the foot’s position when the cyclist istraveling 5 km/h. Compare this equation to your equation from question 1 andexplain any differences.5. Use calculus to explain why the rotation velocity of a point on the perimeter of awheel is the same as the velocity of the pedal. Use examples to support youranswer.arrow_forwardBelow question is from machine design. Please solve asap. You have to select bearings which are used to support a shaft, bearings are mounted at each end of shaft and 1.20 metre apart. A 600 mm diameter pulley is mounted at a distance of 300 mm to the right of left hand bearing and this drives a pulley directly below it with the help of belt having maximum tension of 2.25 kN. Another pulley 400 mm diameter is placed 200 mm to the left of right hand bearing and is driven with the help of electric motor and belt, which is placed horizontally to the right. The angle of contact for both pulleys is 180º and .Allowing working stress of shaft depends on the material you have selected for the shaft. Select the type of bearing mounted on both ends of shaft (either ball or roller bearing type and also elaborate the scenario for the selection of bearing).The Reliability Factor for Bearing may vary from 92% till 96%arrow_forward

Carefully examine the configuration of the components in the mechanism. Then answer the following leading questions to gain insight into the operation of the mechanism. 5. What effect will cause item D to move? 6. As item D is moved in a counterclockwise direction, what happens to item F? 7. What does item F control? 8. What is the overall operation of these mechanisms? 9. Why is there a need for this mechanism and a need to store water in this tankarrow_forward
- Shown below is a figure of a landing gear configuration on the VS and VD planes (for landing gear the directions V, D, and S are often used instead of x, y and z) This gear unit is assumed to represent one side of the main gear on a tricycle type of the landing gear system. The loading assumed corresponds to a condition of nose wheel up or tail down. The design load on the wheel is vertical and it s magnitude for this problem is 15,000 lbf. Determine the reactions at F, H, and G. The fittings at F and H are pinned and therefore cannot transmit any bending moments. The fitting at G is also a pinned fitting.arrow_forwardTwo pulleys are run by a common belt. If a 10.8 inch diameter pulley turns at 900 rpm, what is the diameter of the second pulley if it turns at 421 R.P.M.? Note: Speed is inversely proportional to diameter.arrow_forwardLet us say that we have a ladder with its own length (L) and its own mass (m) this ladder just so happens to make a (θ) degree angle with a wall. The center of mass of this ladder is 1/3 of the way up from the bottom (it gets narrower towards the top). A person of mass M then decides to climb the ladder until he comes to the halfway point. Wall has no friction but the ground has on the ladder.. a) Draw this situation and label forces so you may set up the statics equations. b) Find the force on the ladder due to the ground (both x and y components) and the force on the ladder due to the wall.arrow_forward
- 1–2. Figure C1.2 shows a mechanism that is typical in the tank of a water closet. Note that flapper C is hollow and filled with trapped air. Carefully examine the configuration of the components in the mechanism. Then answer the following leading questions to gain insight into the operation of the mechanism. 1. As the handle A is rotated counterclockwise, what is the motion of flapper C? 2. When flapper C is raised, what effect is seen? 3. When flapper C is lifted, it tends to remain in an upward position for a period of time. What causes this tendency to keep the flapper lifted? 4. When will this tendency (to keep flapper C lifted) cease Plz connect me if you want to explan subject for me .... +962 79180149 Thxarrow_forwardIn a belt drive design, the angle of wrap correction factor C θ is a function of the angle of wrap of the belt on the small sheave. If in a design, the angle of wrap of the belt on the small sheave is 1500 , then C θ = ________ 0 .arrow_forwardBulk loose material is to be emptied from a dump hopper. By pressing a push button P1, the dump hopper is tilted and the bulk loose materials are emptied out. By pressing another push button P2, the dump hopper is returned to its initial position.
