4. You are tasked with helping a cyclist improve their linear speed. After completing a thorough analysis, you determine these current specs.: Wheel Radius: 36.83 centimeters Crank Speed: 950 radians/min Gear Ratio: 1.15; meaning wheel rotates @ 1.15 x Crank Speed The simplest modification you come up with is to increase the person's gear ratio from 1.15 to 2.0. What is the difference in linear speed (meters/sec) when the gear ratio is improved from 1.15 to 2.0 with a crank speed of 950 radians/min? (3pts)
