I mean they must both have to push down on the pedals with the same force, but one person is happy to do it much faster. Does the extra muscle take strain off the knee?
EDIT: post changed after I replied !!
They aren't applying the same amount of force per stroke.
It's force x rpm.
The spinner is applying less force more often.
The other guy is trying to pop his knees.
