An exercise bike uses a heavy disc wheel. Two friction pads provide a total tangential retarding force of 20 N at 0.3 m from the wheel centre. The kinetic-friction coefficient is 0.4. The odometer distance is the distance travelled by a point 0.3 m from the centre. The pedals move in a circle of radius 0.15 m, and the transmission makes the wheel rotate twice per pedal revolution.

A cyclist's energy consumption rate during the workout is 500 W . If the cyclist wishes to expend at least 300 kcal of energy, how long must the cyclist exercise at this rate ? (Take 1 calorie )

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

300 kcal=300000×4.2=1.26×10^6 J.

At 500 W, t=2520 s=42 min.
