excuse the artsy person, but how on earth are you supposed to calculate that force anyway, when you are bound to apply different amounts of forces in different directions when pushing the crank (around, presumably), and not linearily?

Torque = r * F

Well I did mention in my post how the values would change according to a sine function.. but he asked for a maximum force/torque when using only a horizontal force
