The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is described by the formula:
**Effort Distance / Resistance Distance**
This formula represents the ratio of the distance over which the effort force is applied to the distance over which the resistance force is moved.
**Effort Distance / Resistance Distance**
This formula represents the ratio of the distance over which the effort force is applied to the distance over which the resistance force is moved.
