Answer:
IMA of given system = [tex]\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }[/tex]
Explanation:
- The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is [tex]\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }[/tex] .
- Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by [tex]F_{r}[/tex]. The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. [tex]F_{e}[/tex] .
- Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is [tex]\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }[/tex] .
- Its mathematical reference would be:
IMA = [tex]\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }[/tex]
