    We will solve: How far will the cyclist travel=? If” The pedal rotates 60 times, the wheel diameter is 70cm, the front sprocket has 48 teeth and the back sprocket has 18 teeth.

    How do you do it to make a new video every few hours ? it's really impressive, I cant find the time to even watch them all. Great content and I always enjoy the ones I watch.

    Power watts applied to the pedals by the legs can vary. Inclined up/down or level? Coasting or not. … just a few more variables at play.

    Wish there was a video out there on tire pressure and the effects on gear ratio. Like for a car or truck. There literally nothing on utube nor the web

      We do have videos in the mechanical engineering section of this channel that show the effect of underinflated tires on the rolling friction.

    Great video I have been looking a lot for a good explanation thank you, people tends to think equations=algebra, this is a physics problem.

      Thank you. Algebra is just a tool to be used in the execution of science and industry. 🙂

    well, the 700c wheel has a CIRCUMFERENCE and the sprockets dictate the number of revolutions of the CIRCUMFERENCE
    to a straight line on the contact point so its 700x3.14 (pi)= about 2.2 meters per revolution. Next take the teeth count and
    divide the large with the small and that will tell you the number of revolutions which can be multiplied by 2.2. Take a 40/20t for 2 to 1, 2 times
    the wheel's small gear to one of the crank gear and you ultimately get 4.4 meters of travel per crank revolution. Most low gear
    ratios are 1.5 to 1 when beginning to pedal into forward motion and then higher ratios as speed is achieved and workload
    diminishes keeping in mind it is on flat level path. On the high ratios 4 to 5 revolutions of wheel to one of crank are common, 13/53t= 4 to 1.

    I havnt found anyone that has addressed my quandry: Does each link on a bicycle chain remain under a load or are the only loadbearing links in contact with the sprockets. Also, it seems to me, that only 1/4 of the "pulling" sprocket is doing the pulling. Your thoughts?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Only the part of the chain that connects the front sprocket to the back sprocket at the top part only including the part of the chain that is warpped around both sprockets experiences the tension that pushes the bike forward. The bottom of the chain that returns from the back sprocet to the front sprocket does not experience that tension.

  • @joeyGalileoHotto
    @joeyGalileoHotto 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Are we using the gear ratios to account for the fact that we don't know the diameter of each sprocket?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Since the teeth have to be spaced the same distance (for the chain to work) the ratios will be the same

    What do you think is better for university Mechanical or Material Engineering?I like physics more than chemistry so i don't know what to choose

    • @joeyGalileoHotto
      @joeyGalileoHotto 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think Mechanical is a better bet, because Mechanical Engineering pretty much encompasses every field of Engineering and is broad enough to apply to other fields of Engineering. Materials Science is a specialized form of ME, and like Aerospace Engineering, jobs usually require masters degrees and above and has significantly less jobs than Mechanical Engineering does.

      On the contrary. I have ridden over 80,000 km.
