If the AMA of the inclined plane below is 2, calculate the IMA and efficiency.
IMA =
Efficiency =

Answer:
IMA= 2.5
Efficiency= 80%
Explanation:
I just solved it in my lesson and it was correct.
IMA and the efficiency of the inclined plane with AMA equal to 2 will be 2.5 and 80%.
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtain the efficiency of the given mechanical machine.
Mechanical advantage is a measure of how much a machine multiplies the input force.
Given data;
IMA =Ideal Mechanical Advantage=?
AMA =Actual Mechanical Advantage=2
Ed = Effort Distance=5
Dr = Resistance Distance=2
IMA of the inclined plane is the
IMA= Effort Distance/ Resistance Distance
[tex]\rm IMA=\frac{D_E}{D_R}\\\\ IMA=\frac{5}{2} \\\\ IMA=2.5[/tex]
% Efficiency=(AMA)/( IMA)×100
[tex]\rm \eta= \frac{AMA}{IMA} \times 100 \\\\ \eta= \frac{2}{2.5} \times 100 \\\ \eta= 100 \%[/tex]
Hence, IMA and the efficiency of the inclined plane with AMA equal to 2 will be 2.5 and 80%.
