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.

AMA=force produced/force applied TMA=distance effort moves/distance load moves
effort, resistance
It stands for mechanical. In physics, AMA stands for Actual Mechanical Advantage. (see related question)
IMA is larger than AMA, because the IMA is the FATHER of AMA. ec8f035c-5e88-47cb-8476-d5e2234a0aa2 1.03.01
IMA and AMA are unitless
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.
Yes
IMA divided by Length
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 .
the formulas for simple machines help find the ama, ima, and the efficency
I DONT KNOW this website is so stupid it helps with nothing
(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
At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.
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)
