What is the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle.
What are the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle?
In theory a wheel and axle has only one mechanical advantage. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
How do you find the mechanical advantage of wheel and axle?
you have to divide idk * * * * * You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
How is the mechanical advantage of a wheel of axle calculated?
You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.
Explain how the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle change as the size of the wheel increases.?

Why will decreasing the radius of the axle improve the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
it's a mechanical advantage of 1 (meaning no mechanical advantage). This is because no matter how much easier it is to spin a the wheel rather than the axle, its a longer distance of effort force and vice versa. * * * * * True, but that is not what mechanical advantage is! Mechanical advantage IS the trade off between the force required and the distance travelled. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. * * * * * Better. But I think it could be either of the two reciprocal ratios of the radii, depending on whether the wheel/axle is being used in a 2nd class or 3rd class lever configuration ... i.e., are you cranking the wheel in order to turn the axle, as in a winch, or spinning the axle in order to turn the wheel, as in a motor-vehicle ?
A wheel and axle system with the highest mechanical advantage has?
a large wheel and a small axle
How is the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle calculated?
It is the ratio of their diameters.
What is the mechanicatage advantage of a wheel and axle when the wheel has a diameter of 15 inchesand the axle has a diameter of 3 inches?
the mechanical advantage is noting
Why is the steering wheel on a school bus so large?
Since mechanical advantage would be helpful for this situation, the diameter of the steering wheel is larger than the typical steering wheel. Increasing the diameter of the steering wheel allows for a large mechanical advantage.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
The spokes of a wheel are comparable to levers. Longer spokes give more mechanical advantage. Even in a wheel that is solid, and has no spokes, the greater the diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage.
