7. A bicycle chain is wrapped around a rear sprocket (r = 0.039 m) and a front sprocket (r = 0.10 m). The chain moves with a speed of 1.4 m/s around the sprockets, while the bike moves at a constant velocity. Find the magnitute of the acceleration of a chain link that is in contact with (a) the rear sprocket, (b) neither sprocket, and (c) the front sprocket.
