cnhabJKZ Yes. If the wheel and axel are connected so the they both turn together, then a small force applied to the large wheel will produce a larger force on the smaller axel. Example; wrap a string around a 12 inch (radius)wheel. wrap another string in the opposite direction around its 2 inch (radius) axel. Pull on the wheel string with a force of one pound, then the axel string will pull with a force of 6 pounds. The formula is; applied force on large wheel x its radius = pulling force on small axel x its radius ( F) x (2 in) = (1 lb) x (12 in) F = 6 lb

When does a wheel and axle a force multiply?
what is force multiplier
How do you find the output force of a wheel and axle if you already know the input force?
To find the output force of a wheel and axle, you can use the formula: Output Force = Input Force * (Radius of Wheel / Radius of Axle). The output force is determined by the ratio of the radii of the wheel and axle, with the input force determining the overall scaling factor.
If you try to make a wheel and axle work do you have to apply force or effort?
yes
On a wheel and axle where would you apply force to make a greater force?
Probably on the axle??
How does a wheel and axle change its force?
A wheel requires a smaller amount of force to be moved than an axle. Combined, a minimal amount of force is used to move the wheel and in turn is transferred from the wheel to the attached axle, to move the axle. Alone the axle would require a greater amount of force for it to be turned.
What type of machine is a handtruck?
It has a lever to multiply the applied force, and a wheel/axle, to make it easy to move around.
In a wheel and axle the resistance force is usually exerted by the?
Axle :)
In a wheel and axle what usually exerts the resistance force?
wheel
What happen when the input force is applied on the axle instead of the wheel?
The wheel and axle would be multiplying distance.
Is a potters wheel a wheel and axle?
A wheelbarrow is a complex machine: it incorporates a wheel and the handles form a lever. (That's not considering details like screws to hold it together--primitive wheelbarrows didn't have screws).
How can a wheel and axle be used to gain force?
NO
How can a wheel and axle be used gain force?
NO
