The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:
IMA= Input distance/Output distance
The Input distance and Output distance are:
Input distance=220 meters
Output distance=110 meters
When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:
IMA= Input distance/Output distance
IMA= 220 meters/110 meters
IMA=2
I think it means doing work in physics
"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."
These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is
"<em>F = m·A.</em> The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."
The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.
