Identify the varibles in the equation for determining the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever

In the case of a lever, the ideal mechanical advantage, or IMA, is the ratio of the length of the effort arm to the length of the load arm, or IMA = Le / Lr. The effort arm measures the distance from the force applied to the fulcrum, and the load arm measures the distance from the weight, or output force, to the fulcrum.

In the case of a wheel and axle, ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the radius of the wheel, R, to the radius of the axle, r. In short, IMA = R/r.

In the case of a pulley system, the ideal mechanical advantage is equal to the number of support strings, N. IMA = N. Alternatively, ideal mechanical advantage is equal to two times the number of movable pulleys.

In the case of an inclined plane, the ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the length traveled up the inclined plane, L, to the height difference, h. IMA = L/h.

In the case of a wedge, the ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the depth of penetration, L, to the length of the separation of wedged surfaces, t. IMA = L/t.

In the case of a screw, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the circumference of the screw to the distance traveled after each revolution. In other words, IMA = 2*pi*L / P, where L is the radius of the screw and P is the distance traveled after each revolution.

The actual benefits of a simple machine when compared to its ideal mechanical advantage are reduced due to energy loss caused by friction. The efficiency measures how close a simple machine is to its ideal mechanical advantage. Efficiency is the ratio of the work supplied to the work put into the machine.

What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)
