Want this question answered?
Ima is Ideal Mechanical Advantage and Ama is Actual Mechanical Advantage. The difference is that IMA doesn't take into account elasticity or friction and AMA does.
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
When a machine is 100% efficient, theoretical and actual MAs are the same. Please let me know when you run across one of these.
Mechanical Advantage = distance moved at input / distance moved at output
the equation of mechanical advantage isFout (force, output)divided byFin (force input)the equation for Ideal mechanical advantage isDin (distance, input)divided byDout (distance, output)hope this helps a bit

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.
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
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.

Mechanical Advantage = distance moved at input / distance moved at output
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
Depending on the context , it might mean " medical". Mechanical = Actual Mechanical Advantage
IMA- Ideal mechanical advantageAMA- Actual mechanical advantage
You can grip things tightly with them.
