In a wheel and axle system, the smaller wheel is typically referred to as the axle, while the larger wheel is simply called the wheel. The axle rotates within the wheel, allowing for easier movement and the transfer of force. This mechanism is commonly used in vehicles and machinery to amplify force or speed, depending on the size ratio between the wheel and axle. The smaller wheel helps improve efficiency by reducing friction and facilitating rotation.

How do gears change the speed of something?

Same way as any gear set does. If you have a large wheel(more teeth) driving a smaller wheel(fewer teeth), then the smaller wheel will spin faster, but with less force. If you have a small wheel driving a big wheel, then the big wheel will spin slower but stronger.

Why pinion wheel is smaller than spur wheel?

The pinion wheel is smaller than the spur wheel to achieve a mechanical advantage in gear systems. The smaller size of the pinion allows it to rotate faster than the larger spur wheel, resulting in an increase in speed while reducing torque. This size differential is essential for applications requiring changes in speed and torque, enabling efficient power transmission in machinery. Additionally, using a smaller pinion helps minimize space and weight in gear assemblies.
