Question 26
F

On a bicycle, the pedals turn a gear at the front. A chain connects this front gear to a gear on the back wheel.

The cyclist can change the back gear to a larger gear with more teeth.

Explain why it is easier for the cyclist to ride up a steep hill using a larger back gear.

Your answer should refer to forces, moments and the speed of the bicycle.
