Question

A traditional set of cycling rollers has two identical, parallel cylinders in the rear of the device that the rear tire of the bicycle rests on. Assume that the rear tire is rotating at ω = 32k rad/s. What are the angular velocities of the two cylinders? Consider r1 = 460 mm and r2 = 46 mm.

Answer 1

Answer:

ω2  =  216.47 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius r1 =  460 mm

radius r2 = 46 mm

ω =  32k rad/s

solution

we know here that power generated by roller that  is

power = T. ω    ..............1

power = F × r × ω

and this force of roller on cylinder is equal and opposite force apply by roller

so power transfer equal in every cylinder so

( F × r1 × ω1)  ÷ 2 = (  F × r2 × ω2 )  ÷  2    ................2

so

ω2  =  $\frac{460\times 32}{34\times 2}$

ω2  =  216.47
