Wheel and Axle: A simple machine with a wheel attached to the axle is called as wheel and axle. The wheel is fastened so that torque applied to the wheel winds a rope or chain onto the axle, yielding a mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage of wheel and axle: It equal to the ratio of the diameter of the wheel to that of the axle. To find it without any complex manual calculations you can use our online wheel and axle mechanical advantage calculator. And for manual calculations steps, you can refer the below-given example problem.


Example:

Calculate the mechanical advantage of wheel and axle for the following data :
Wheel radius = 25 cm
Axle Radius = 45 cm

Solution:

Mechanical Advantage of Wheel and Axle = 25/45
= 0.5556
