The inclination of the plane affects the effective force required to move an object up the plane, thus affecting the effort force in the calculation of the IMA. The AMA takes into account friction, which is typically present when moving an object on an inclined plane, resulting in a lower AMA compared to the IMA of the same inclined plane.
AMA (Actual Mechanical Advantage) is the ratio of the output force to the input force in an inclined plane, taking into account friction and other real-world factors. IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) is the ratio of the length of the incline to the vertical height, assuming no friction or energy loss. AMA is always lower than IMA due to the effects of friction.
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of an inclined plane is calculated by dividing the length of the plane by the height. In this case, the IMA would be 8m (length) divided by 2m (height) which equals an IMA of 4.
In an inclined plane, the mechanical advantage (MA) is always less than 1 because the input force needed to lift an object is greater than the output force. This is due to the trade-off between the distance over which the force is applied (input distance) and the vertical distance the object is lifted (output distance). The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) assumes a frictionless system and is calculated based on the ratio of input distance to output distance, resulting in a value always greater than the 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.
In a circuit with reactive components such as inductors or capacitors, the current waveform may lead (I) or lag (AMA) behind the voltage waveform due to phase differences caused by the reactive nature of the components. The difference in phase shift leads to a difference in magnitude between the two waveforms, making IMA larger than AMA.

The ideal mechanical advantage, or IMA, of an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by its height. The IMA is calculated without regard to friction.
the IMA increases?

The exact answer of 8m/2m = 4 meters high. Thank you.
