PLEASE HELP!
The radius of the wheel of a wheel and axle is 4 times the radius of the axle. What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle?

Respuesta :

The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is defined by:
M.A. = radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle.

If we let x = the radius of the axle, then 4x = the radius of the wheel.

From the definition above:
[tex]M. A. = \frac{4x}{x} [/tex]

So M.A. = 4
