Question

When the IMA is compared to AMA in the real world, _____.

(A)the value of the IMA is always larger than the AMA
(B)the value of the AMA is always larger than the IMA
(C)the value of the AMA is larger than the IMA when there is no resistance
(D)the value of the IMA is larger than the AMA when there is no resistance

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A.) the value of the IMA is always larger than the AMA
(Not 100% on this, not my strongest topic, so I would double check)

Answer 2

AMA is actual mechanical advantage in where it would compare the force in as well as out in using actual measurements in the real life or with friction while in IMA which is the ideal mechanical advantage no friction then is needed. The answer then is a. the value of IMA is larger than AMA.
