How to Calculate Wheel Axle

What is Wheel Axle?

A wheel-and-axle calculator determines the mechanical advantage of this rotational simple machine: MA = wheel radius ÷ axle radius. A steering wheel with 15 cm radius and 1.5 cm shaft has MA = 10, meaning 10 N of hand force produces 100 N of shaft torque.
