on a wheel and axle where would you apply force to increase speed

1 answer

To increase the speed of a wheel and axle system, you would apply force to the wheel. The wheel is the larger disk-like component of the system and is responsible for transferring rotational motion to another object, such as an axle. By applying force to the edge or rim of the wheel and providing a torque, you can increase the rotational speed of the wheel and consequently increase the overall speed of the system.
