Question

how is the actual mechanical advantage of a machine calculated? actual mechanical advantage = input force/output force actual mechanical advantage = output force/input force

Explanation:

Actual mechanical advantage (AMA) of a machine is calculated by dividing the output force (the force exerted by the machine) by the input force (the force applied to the machine). This ratio gives an indication of how much the machine amplifies the input force.

Answer:

actual mechanical advantage = output force/input force
