About This Product
A wheel and axle is a simple machine in which a large wheel turns together with a smaller axle, so a small effort at the wheel can lift a larger load on the axle. Its mechanical advantage is the ratio of the wheel radius to the axle radius. With three axle diameters, students can compare how the mechanical advantage changes with the axle used and work out the velocity ratio and efficiency. A related machine in the range is the Compound Screw Jack. Schools, colleges and distributors in Somalia, Papua New Guinea, Estonia, Eritrea and Dominican Republic can source the Compound Wheel and Axle from School Lab Equipment India.
