∙ 7y agoNo units. It is a ratio. Mathematically, (force delivered)/(force applied).
Apparently it is scientifically impossible for there to be any units for mechanical advantage
M.A. (Mechanical Advantage), is not measured in anything. It is just a number.
there is no unit for mechanical advantage

∙ 11y agoThere isn't one, because efficiency is measured in a ratio.
Energy out of the machine divided by energy going into the machine equals efficiency.
You can get it as a percentage, but that's about it.

Is mechanical advantage measured in N?
No, it is a ratio - without units.
What will increase the actual mechanical advantage of a machine?
Common mechanisms for obtaining mechanical advantage would include such as multiple pulleys, hydraulic systems, gears, and levers.
The more efficient a machine is the closer the actual mechanical advantage is to the?
Perfect efficiency
How can two machines appear identical and yet not have the same actual mechanical advantage-?
They can't uless some parts are hidden from inspection.
What is a mechanical adventage?
Mechanical Advantage;The ratio of load and effort is called mechanical advantage of any machine.Mathematical Formula Of Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage = Load / EffortUnit Of Mechanical AdvantageAs mechanical advantage is the ratio of two forces, therefore it has no unit.
How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
How does the ideal compare with the actual mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
Why is the actual mechanical advantage of an inclined plane alwaysess than the theoretical mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call an estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less.

What is the ideal mechanical advantage messurde in?
The mechanical advantage is a dimensionless ratio. It's just a number, with no units.
Does mechanical advantage have the units of force?
No, mechanical advantage has no units, it is simple the ratio of an output quantity, such as force, to the input quantity. For example if it takes 10 pounds to lift a 50 pound object, the mechanical advantage is = 5
Actual mechanical advantage of a pulley?
Mechanical Advantage = distance moved at input / distance moved at output
When you are solving for mechanical advantage what units did the final answer require?
None. Mechanical advantage is a ratio of two measures each of which has the same units and so it is a unit-less number.
What is the Mechanical Advantage Formula?
Mechanical Advantage: F(out)/ F(in) Actual Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of Force outputed to Force inputed. (AMA=Fo/Fi) Similarly, IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) = di/do
What are units for Ideal Mechanical Advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is a numerical ratio. It's a naked number without a unit.
What does the M stands for in the abbreviation AMA?
Depending on the context , it might mean " medical". Mechanical = Actual Mechanical Advantage
What is IMA and AMA?
IMA- Ideal mechanical advantageAMA- Actual mechanical advantage
Is mechanical advantage measured in N?
No, it is a ratio - without units.
