Question 967701: A bicycle has a rear wheel with a radius of 25". Attached to this wheel is a sprocket of radius 1.9". If the bike moves 40 feet when the pedals are rotated through an angle of 360°, then what is the radius of the large sprocket which is attached to the pedals? Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A bicycle has a rear wheel with a radius of 25". Attached to this wheel is a sprocket of radius 1.9". If the bike moves 40 feet when the pedals are rotated through an angle of 360°, then what is the radius of the large sprocket which is attached to the pedals?
***
40 ft=40*12/2(pi)*r=480/50(pi)=3.056 rev (small sprocket rotation)
360 deg=1 rev (large sprocket rotation)
radius of large sprocket=3.056*1.9=5.8 in
