In cycling the torque generated about the crank axis is determined by the magnitude of the force from a foot pushing the pedal as well as the angle between the crank arm and the force vector The diagram shows the 17 5 cm crank pedal at two positions 90 degrees and 135 degrees What is the torque at each of the points if the foot applies a force of 800 N Which position creates the larger torque Note Use the angle between the force application and crank arm in your calculations 17 5 cm 90 0 180 270 90 0 180 270
