Mechanical advantage describes how much a machine multiplies the input force. There are two ways to calculate this: Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA)

A bicycle has an input force of 50 N applied to the pedals. The output force at the wheel is 25 N. The distance the pedals move is 0.5 m, and the wheel moves 2.0 m. * A) Calculate the MA. * B) Calculate the Efficiency.

You apply 20 N of force to a lever to lift a 60 N rock. What is the AMA? Solution: . (Note: MA has no units).
