A bicycle and rider is mass 125 kg are travelling at speed of 10km/hr. The rider applies a break to the near wheel of 1 m diameter. How far the bicycle will travel before it comes to rest? The pressure applied to the brake is 120 N and μ = 0.05. Also find the number of revolutions made by bicycle before coming to rest.
