Concept explainers
a.
Findthe speed of the bicycle in thegiven measurement.
a.
Answer to Problem 68E
Thespeed in the given measurements are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The radii of the socket, the wheel sprocket, and the wheel of the bicycle are
Calculation:
Circumference of the socket
Circumference of the sprocket
Circumference of the wheel
Now,
Speed of the bicycle
Measurement in feet/second
Measurement in miles/hour
Hence thespeed inthe given measurements are
b.
Find the function for the distance
b.
Answer to Problem 68E
The function is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given:
The radii of the socket, the wheel sprocket, and the wheel of the bicycle are
Calculation:
Circumference of the socket
Circumference of the sprocket
Circumference of the wheel
Now,
Speed of the bicycle
Measurement in feet/second
Measurement in miles/hour
Distance travelled
Hence thefunction is
c.
Find the function for the distance
c.
Answer to Problem 68E
The function for the distance
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given:
The radii of the socket, the wheel sprocket, and the wheel of the bicycle are
Calculation:
Circumference of the socket
Circumference of the sprocket
Circumference of the wheel
Now,
Speed of the bicycle
Measurement in feet/second
Measurement in miles/hour
Distance travelled
Hence thefunction is
Use formula
Cyclist pedal rate
Hence the function for the distance
