The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle.
What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
a
37.5
b
6
c
17.5
d
0.17
e
12.5
Without a diagram or specific values for the radii of the wheel and axle, it is impossible to determine the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below.

Without any provided dimensions or a diagram, it is impossible to determine the specific mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle in question. Please provide more information or context.
To find the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle, you need to divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. However, since the values of the radii are not provided in the question, we cannot directly calculate the mechanical advantage.
If we assume that the radius of the wheel is 75 units and the radius of the axle is 4 units, we can calculate the mechanical advantage as:
Mechanical Advantage = Radius of Wheel / Radius of Axle = 75 / 4 = 18.75
However, since none of the provided options exactly match 18.75, it seems that the radii of the wheel and axle have not been given or are not discernible from the given information. Thus, we cannot determine the correct mechanical advantage from the options provided.
