? Is another type of simple machine found in
the body.
? It is actually a lever.
Wheel and Axel-Dr.Paras Bhura PT
? The wheel and axle is generally considered
to be a wheel attached to an axle so that
these two parts rotate together in which a
force is transferred from one to the other.
OR
? A wheel and axle is a lever that rotates in a
circle around a center point or fulcrum.
? The larger wheel (or outside) rotates around
the smaller wheel (axle).
Wheel and Axel-Dr.Paras Bhura PT
It is typically used
? to increase the force exerted &
? to lift weights.
Wheel and Axel-Dr.Paras Bhura PT
? Bicycle wheels, the doorknob, Steering
wheels and gears are all examples of a wheel
and axle.
? Wheels can multiply distance and speed as
well as force.
? Bicycles have large wheels so they go faster.
Wheel and Axel-Dr.Paras Bhura PT
? Passive Shoulder Rotation

Wheel and Axel-Dr.Paras Bhura PT
? The mechanical advantage of the wheel and
axle is the ratio of the distances from the
fulcrum to the applied loads, same like lever.
? I.e.
MA= Radius of Wheel
Radius of Axle
