mechanical advantage
n. The ratio of the output force produced by a machine to the applied input force.
Science Dictionarymechanical advantage (mĭ-kān'ĭ-kəl) Pronunciation Key
The ratio of the output force (acting on a load) produced by a machine to the applied effort (the input force). See also efficiency.

What is the definition of simple pulley?
A simple pulley is one fulcrum with no mechanical advantage.
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called?
mechanical advantage
What does the output force divided by the input force equal?
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
What does IMA stands for in physics?
ideal mechanical advantage
How does mechanical advantage differ from ideal mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage is determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces and takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The ideal mechanical advantage, meanwhile, is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear.
What is definition of mechanical advantage?
in a machine it`s the ratio of the load overcomed to the effort
What is the definition of simple pulley?

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.

What is the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
What is a Mechanical advantage equal to?
Mechanical advantage the resistance force. Mechanical advantage is equal output force divided by input force.
What does mechanical advantage equal?
Mechanical advantage equals resistance force.
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
