Answer:
VR = [tex]\frac{Radius of the wheel}{Radius of the axle}[/tex]
Explanation:
Velocity ratio (VR) of a machine is a term that compares the distance moved by effort put into the machine to the distance moved by the load.
A wheel and axle is a device for lifting of a load through a height. It is made up of two circular parts called wheel and axle. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:
VR = [tex]\frac{Radius of the wheel}{Radius of the axle}[/tex]
For a practical wheel and axle, the diameter of the wheel is greater than the diameter of the axle.
