A wheel and axle is a disk and cylinder joined together. These two objects are only a simple machine when used in tandem. A wheel and axle is a modified first-class lever. When force is applied to the axle, the force is multiplied and transferred to the wheel. This causes the wheel to cover more area. Readers will learn about the invention of the wheel and axle, where wheels and axles can be found, and how they make difficult jobs easier.

The wheel and axle together is a simple machine. We see them all over the place. Without this simple machine we would not be able to drive to other places quickly, or go on a train. Find out all about this simple machine in this title.

Wheels and axles may seem basic, but with these inventions humankind has created incredible things. From skateboards to Ferris wheels, these simple machines have changed our world forever. This accessible book helps readers relate wheels and axles to the technology in their daily lives through cool real-world examples. Detailed pictures of machinery with extensive annotations help readers understand key engineering concepts. Fun "Technology in Action" spreads give readers an up-close look at how mechanical parts work together.
