Home > Ideal mechanical advantage


In physics, the ideal mechanical advantage (abbreviated IMA) is the mechanical advantage of an ideal machine.

The IMA of a machine can be found with the following formula,

IMA = DE ÷ DR

where DE equals the effort distance and DR equals the resistance distance.
