To calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) of a wheel and axle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{\text{radius of the wheel}}{\text{radius of the axle}}
\]
From your description, the radius of the wheel is given as 15 cm, and the length of the axle (which I assume refers to its radius) is 2.5 cm.
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{15 \text{ cm}}{2.5 \text{ cm}} = 6
\]
So, the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle is **6**.
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{\text{radius of the wheel}}{\text{radius of the axle}}
