Why is IMA larger than AMA?

IMA is larger than AMA, because the IMA is the FATHER of AMA. ec8f035c-5e88-47cb-8476-d5e2234a0aa2 1.03.01


What is the unit for IMA?

IMA and AMA are unitless


What is the difference between ima and ama?

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.


Is IMA always larger than AMA?

Yes


What is the formula for ama?

IMA divided by Length


How does the length of a screw affect its IMA?

Ideal Mechanical Advantage can be found using this formula IMA = DE / DR . Ideal Mechanical Advantage is a theoretical calculation, AMA,Êactual mechanical advantage is calculated with this formula, AMA = R / Eactual .


What are the formulas for simple machines?

the formulas for simple machines help find the ama, ima, and the efficency

What is the formula for lever?

(AMA / IMA)100 Where AMA represents the actual mechanical advantage and IMA represents the Ideal Mechanical advantage. AMA = Fr/Fe where Fr equals the force of the resistance from the fulcrum, and Fe equals the force of the effort. IMA = De/Dr where De equals the Distance of the effort from the fulcrum and Dr equals the distance of the resistance from the fulcrum


If a machine was 100 percent efficient how would the AMA compare to the IMA?

At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.


In physics what is power and efficiency?

Power(P) is the amount of Work(W) done in a given amount of time(t). Efficiency(e) is a measure of how effective a machine is. This is done by taking the ratio of output work(Wo) and dividing that by the work input(Wi). e=Wo/Wi X 100 Another way of determining efficiency is... e=AMA/IMA X 100 (AMA=Actual Mechanical Advantage) (IMA=Ideal Mechanical Advantage)


How does the position of the fulcrum and the location of the load affect the amount of effort force you must exert to lift the load?

To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
