Why is it important that the diameter of the wheel be greater than the diameter of the axle in a wheel and axle?

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.
