Wheel & Axel

I learned that a wheel and axel makes work alot becuase i tmakes it easier to lift an object. A screw can also make it much easier to lift objects. The mechanical advantage depends on how big the wheel is and how big the threads are. The wider the thread the more force it takes to lift the object. The high the MA the more effective the machine. So it is more efficient with higher MA.
