To increase the mechanical advantage of a steering wheel, a car manufacturer can:
**a) increase the radius of the steering wheel.**
Increasing the radius allows the driver to apply less force to turn the wheel, as a larger radius provides greater leverage. This makes steering easier and more effective.
