The wheel and axle is a simple machine consisting of a wheel attached to a smaller axle so that these two parts rotate together in which a force is transferred from one to the other. It is a type of lever. The wheel is the larger radius part, and the axle is the smaller radius part. When the wheel is turned, the axle turns with it. This can be used to lift heavy objects or to move them more easily. Examples include doorknobs, steering wheels, and screwdrivers.
