ideal mechanical advantage
the formula for determing ideal mechanical advantage is effort divided by resistance
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.
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.
ideal mechanical advantage
No, the ideal is without friction.
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 formula for determing ideal mechanical advantage is effort divided by resistance
it is less than the ideal mechanical advantage
Mechanical Advantage = Effort/Load
Ideal mechanical advantage is a numerical ratio. It's a naked number without a unit.
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
No. That ratio is 'efficiency'.
The ideal mechanical advantage of the bar is 5.
Increase the advantage.
