Question

Which mathematical formula would you use to calculate the IMA of a wheel?

Answer 1

W = F x D

Step-by-step explanation:

The work you put into a machine -- the input force -- is the force you apply times the distance you apply it. The work done by the machine equals the resisting weight times the distance it moves when you perform the work.

Answer 2

As shown in the figure, the ideal mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. Any crank-operated device is an example of a wheel and axle. Force applied to a wheel exerts a force on its axle.
