Mechanical Advantage is the value which tells us the factor by which the machine is able to convert the force applied to it to its output.

Ideal Mechanical Advantage of wheel and axle is calculated by

IMA = Wheel Radius / Axle Radius

By virtue, the higher the computed IMA the lower the force needed to be exerted, this is the purpose for using machine, lower input force but larger output. (The smalled the axle radius compared to the wheel radius is the better setup.)

Divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle

Answer:

x = 2.044 m

Explanation:

given data

initial vertical component of velocity = Vy = 2sin18

initial horizontal component of velocity = Vx = 2cos18

distance from the ground yo = 5m

ground distance y = 0

from equation of motion

$y = yo+ V_y t +\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 5 + 2sin18+ \frac{1}{2}*9.8t^2$

solving for t

t = 1.075 sec

for horizontal motion

$x = V_x t$

x = 2cos18*1.075

x = 2.044 m
