Calculate mechanical advantage for simple machines
📖 Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force, or input distance to output distance. It measures how much a machine multiplies force or distance.
📊 Result
💡 Tips & Information
- Mechanical Advantage = Output Force / Input Force
- MA > 1 means force is multiplied (effort reduced)
- MA < 1 means distance is multiplied (speed increased)
- Ideal MA assumes no friction or energy losses
- Actual MA is always less than ideal due to friction
