by seeing how many ropes the pulley has... that is close to the mechannical advantage...or it is it! its a cool trick once you learn it! My science teacher just had us do a project on this!

The mechanical advantage of a machine without friciton is called the machine's mechanical advantage?
Kachina al
Is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is it's mechanical advantage with friction?
No, the ideal is without friction.
Is mechanical advantage measured in N?
No, it is a ratio - without units.
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine without friction?
Machinal advantage, also known as mechanical advantage, refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A machine can be useful even its machinal advantage is less than 1.
What is the main purpose of simple machines?
To gain a mechanical advantage. In other words, to do something you couldn't do without it.

No, the ideal is without friction.
What are units for Ideal Mechanical Advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is a numerical ratio. It's a naked number without a unit.
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the number of times it?
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the number of times it can perform the same task without breaking down.
Is mechanical advantage measured in N?
No, it is a ratio - without units.
What is the difference between actual machanical advantage and ideal machanical advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is what could be obtained without the effects of gravity and friction lowering the efficiency of the machine. The actual mechanical advantage is what can actually be obtained by the machine.
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine without friction?
Machinal advantage, also known as mechanical advantage, refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A machine can be useful even its machinal advantage is less than 1.
What efficiency is assumed when calculating the ideal mechanical advantage?
The assumed efficiency is 100% without any friction

How can you increase mechanical advantage of a gear system?
A mechanical advantage occurs when a tool such as a hammer is used that increases the amount of force being applied without increasing the effort of the person using the tool. To increase mechanical advantage, you could use a bigger hammer to increase output force.
Why does a fixed pulley have a mechanical advantage of one and a movable pulley has a mechanical advantage of two?
we find mechanical advantage of pulley by using principle of lever. according to this moment of effort is equal to moment of moment of load. As in this case effort arm is equal to load arm. so mechanical advantage is equal to one. but we know we can never finish friction between rope used and pulley so mechanical advantage is less than one
