When you ride a bicycle, your foot pushes down on a pedal that’s 17.5 cm (0.175 m) from the axis of rotation. your force produces a torque on the crank attached to the pedal. suppose that you weigh 700 n. if you put all your weight on the pedal while it’s directly in front of the crank’s axis of rotation, what torque do you exert on the crank?

Torque = 122.5 kgm²/s²

Explanation:

Given

Force, F = 700N

Distance between a center of rotation and a force, d = 0.175 m

θ = rotational angle

Because you're pushing down as the crank is right in front of the axis of rotation; without considering angle between the force and the axis of rotation; torque is calculated as follows.

Torque = Force * Distance

Substitute for each value

Torque = 700 * 0.175

Torque = 122.5 kgm²/s²

are there any answer choices

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
