- Simple machines, such as a lever, inclined plane, or wheel and axle, give you a mechanical advantage.
- You calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine by dividing the output force by the input force.

What is a mechanical adventage?
Mechanical Advantage;The ratio of load and effort is called mechanical advantage of any machine.Mathematical Formula Of Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage = Load / EffortUnit Of Mechanical AdvantageAs mechanical advantage is the ratio of two forces, therefore it has no unit.
What are units for Ideal Mechanical Advantage?
Ideal mechanical advantage is a numerical ratio. It's a naked number without a unit.
When you are solving for mechanical advantage what units did the final answer require?
None. Mechanical advantage is a ratio of two measures each of which has the same units and so it is a unit-less number.
What is the unit of ratio?
there have no unit because both the quantites cancel out each other same as mecghanical advantage there have no unit because both the quantites cancel out each other same as mechanical advantage
Does mechanical advantage have the units of force?
No, mechanical advantage has no units, it is simple the ratio of an output quantity, such as force, to the input quantity. For example if it takes 10 pounds to lift a 50 pound object, the mechanical advantage is = 5
What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp standing straight up?
The mechanical Advantage is FORCE TIMES DISTANCE
How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called?
mechanical advantage
What does the output force divided by the input force equal?
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
What is the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
What is a Mechanical advantage equal to?
Mechanical advantage the resistance force. Mechanical advantage is equal output force divided by input force.
