The wheel on the bottom of the catapult which is the large diameter disk obtains the load force being launched from the catapult. The axle which is the small diameter shaft (the spoke that is used to attach one tire to the other) also helps to move the both wheels to once again support the heavy load being launched. Basically, the wheel and axle have 2 jobs to preform in a catapult. The first one is to obtain the heavy force pushing down from the catapult. The second one is that it helps move the catapult from one place to another. For example, back in the medieval when they used the catapult constantly in wars they couldn't just stay in the same stop expecting they wouldn't get killed from the enemy. They had to move themselves and there catapult using the wheel and axle.
Levers and pulleys also work in the catapult. The lever is the catapult arm. The the pulley is the rope being pulled down to tie the rope down for an attack to be launched.
I hoped I helped! The funny thing is that I searched up this answer and when I clicked on this I found nothing so I decided to write something. I guess I actually didn't need to search this question up in the beginning.

Is an wheel and axle a simple machine?
Yes a wheel and axle is a simple machine because it makes work easier
How does a wheel and axle work?
it works on the way the wheel spins and how the axle makes it where the wheel can spinwhen you turn one part the part turns. :)
How is the wheel and axle and pulley similar?
Both the wheel and axle and pulley are simple machines that involve rotation to make work easier. The wheel and axle use a wheel that turns on an axle to help with the transfer of force, while a pulley is a wheel with a groove that can rotate on an axle to lift or move objects by changing the direction of the force applied. Both machines multiply force and make work more efficient.
What are the description of a wheel and axle?
A wheel with a grove in the middle used to help you do less work
Type of simple machine that is made of a wheel attached to a rod?
This is a wheel and axle simple machine. The wheel rotates around the axle, allowing for the transfer of force to perform work.

Yes, it is a wheel and axle.
What is the IMA of a wheel and axle?
The IMA of a wheel and axle is the radius of wheel divided by the radius of the axle.
What is the work output by a 92 percent efficient wheel and axle when 75 J of work is input?
The work output of a 92% efficient wheel and axle would be 69 J (92% of 75 J). This means that 69 J of useful work would be accomplished by the wheel and axle system when 75 J of work is input.
Why won't a RTV900 work in 2 wheel drive but it will in 4 wheel?
mine did the same thing it was the right axle spun in the hub. check the axle and hub.
What does the wheel turn on a wheel and an axle?
