Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel like that should be a really simple question if I had formula. We were given that:
ωwheel=(R1/R2)ωpedal
R1 is the radius of the crank sprocket
R2 is the radius of the wheel sprocket
This would mean that ωwheel=(2/5)ωpedal, but that doesn't really help.
