Length of input arm (input force to the fulcrum) divided by the Length of the output arm (output force to the fulcrum)
example
din/dout
=2cm/4cm
=0.5
in the example the IMA is 0.5

What is the unit for IMA?
IMA and AMA are unitless
How many pounds of effort force does a lever have if it has an effort arm of fifteen units long and a resistance arm of 10 units and can lift a 3-pound weight?
It would require (3 X 10)/15 = 2 lb to lift the 3 lb weight. Actually, something a little greater than that. 2 lb is the force to balance it. (Obviously, the lever "has" no force. It requires the force to lift the weight.)
Is a broom a class1 lever or a class 2 lever or a class 3 lever?
class 3
What two simple machines are part of an axe?
A wedge and a lever.
Is a hand drill a lever?
No, a hand drill is not a lever.
What is the IMA of lever?
the IMA is the ideal mechanical advantage.
What does it mean when the IMA is less than 1.0?
If an IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) is less than one, that means the lever the force is applied to is shorter than the lever lifting the load.
What is the IMA equation for a second class lever?
IMA= De/Dr ( big D and little e over big D and little r)
Can the IMA of a lever be increased by decreasing the length between the applied effort and the pivot?
False
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
What is the unit for IMA?
IMA and AMA are unitless
What do the words Ima?
Ima means mom or mommy.
What does increasing the slope of the ramp do to the IMA?
Increase the IMA
How do you calucate the ima of a incline plane?
Ima of an incline plane?
When was Ima Korean created?
Ima Korean was created in 2009.
When was Ima Hitotabi no created?
Ima Hitotabi no was created in 1947.
When was Ima nade created?
Ima nade was created in 1988.
