What is the work required to cycle 60 revolutions with a resistance setting of 4kp on a Monark cycle ergometer? (Hint: 1 pedal revolution = 6m; 1kp = 10 N) 2. What is the power output if this was done in 2 minutes? Challenge question: What combination of cadence (rev/min) and weight (kp) would be needed for an individual to cycle at 60 W, 150 W, and 300 W? there are multiple answers that apply here (think practically with what is actually possible).

To set resistance on the cycle ergometer, 750 kg/m/min work rate would be ____ kps on the bike. A. 1.5 kp B. 2.5 kp C. 3.5 kp D. 4.5 kp

In bicycling for aerobic exercise, a woman wants her heart rate to be between 136 and 166 beats per minute. Assume that her heart rate is directly proportional to her mechanical power output. Ignore all forces on the womanplus-bicycle system, except for static friction forward on the drive wheel of the bicycle and an air resistance force proportional to the square of the bicycler's speed. When her speed is $22.0 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$, her heart rate is $90.0$ beats per minute. In what range should her speed be so that her heart rate will be in the range she wants?
