what is it
A wheel and axle is a simple machine made of two circular or cylindrical objects fastened together that rotate about a common axle.
When you use a screwdriver , you apply an input force to turn the handle, or wheel. Because the wheel is larger than the shaft, or axle, the axle rotates and exerts a large output force.
with a drive force applied tangentially to the perimeter of the wheel and a load force applied to the axle, respectively, that are balanced around the hinge which is the fulcrum.
true or false
When you use a screwdriver , you apply an input force to turn the handle, or wheel?
The wheel and axle can be viewed as a version of the lever, with a drive force applied tangentially to the perimeter of the wheel and a load force applied to the axle, respectively, that are balanced around the hinge which is the fulcrum.
how can you find Mechanical Advantage ?
You can find the ideal mechanical Advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
