Mechanical efficiency

|
In physics, mechanical efficiency is the effectiveness of a simple machine.
The formula for finding efficiency is,
- Efficiency = AMA ÷ IMA
where AMA equals actual mechanical advantage and IMA equals ideal mechanical advantage.
Efficiency is measured as a percentage. The efficiency of an ideal machine is 100%. Therefore, all real machine efficiencies are less than 100%.
Efficiency is also Output 100
