About This Product
The wheel and axle is one of the simple machines taught in school physics. Two wheels of different size turn together, and loads hung from each can be balanced by changing the weight or the radius. Students use it to study moments, the principle of equilibrium and mechanical advantage, and to relate the ratio of radii to the load that a small force can lift. The metal stand holds the wheels steady so that the readings can be repeated.
