Draw a free-body diagram of the pedal-arm assembly from a bicycle with the pedal arms in the horizontal position and dimensions as shown in Figure. (Consider the two arms, pedals,
and pivot as one piece.) Assuming a rider-applied force of 1500 N at the pedal, determine the torque applied to the chain sprocket and the maximum bending moment and torque in the pedal arm.
