Wheel and Screw!

The radius of the wheel and also the diameter of the screw affect how much work is needed to complete the job. When the radius of the wheel is bigger the force needed to lift something is less but when the radius of the wheel is smaller the force needed increases that is very similiar with the screw. The mechanical andvantage is the biggest when the screw and wheel are very big.
