Why is it important that the diameter of the wheel be greater than the diameter of the axle in a wheel and axle?
because the wheel turns through a much greater distance than the axle.but the smaller turn of the axle is more powerful.witten by-brenda v.=========================Answer #2:-- The fact that the wheel turns through a greater distance that the axle doesis a result, not a cause, of the wheel being bigger than the axle.-- The axle is not more powerful than the wheel. Ignoring losses, they must bothhave the same power. The axle's force is greater than the wheel's force, but to payfor it, the axle must turn through greater distance. Same as all the lever stuff.-- The diameter of the wheel needs to be greater than the diameter of the axleonly if you'd prefer not to have the axle scrape on the ground.

What is a wheel and axle system made up from?
A second variation of the lever is the simple machine known as a wheel and axle. A wheel and axle consists of two circular pieces of different sizes attached to each other. The larger circular piece is the wheel in the system, and the smaller circular piece is the axle. One of the circular pieces can be considered as the effort arm of the lever and the second, the resistance arm. The place at which the two are joined is the fulcrum of the system. Some examples of the wheel and axle include a door knob, a screwdriver, an egg beater, a water wheel, the steering wheel of an automobile, and the crank used to raise a bucket of water from a well. When the wheel in a wheel and axle machine is turned, so is the axle, and vice versa. For example, when you turn the handle of a screwdriver, the edge that fits into the screw head turns at the same time. The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle machine can be found by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. For example, suppose that the crank on a water well turns through a radius of 2 ft (61 cm) and the radius of the axle around which the rope is wrapped is 4 in (10 cm). Then the mechanical advantage of this wheel and axle system is 2 ft divided by 4 in, or 6.
