Determine the ideal mechanical advantage of a hammer that is used to remove a nail if the input distance is 10 cm and the output distance is 2.5 cm.

To determine the ideal mechanical advantage, we can use the formula:
Mechanical Advantage (MA) = Input Distance / Output Distance
In this case, the input distance is given as 10 cm and the output distance is given as 2.5 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
MA = 10 cm / 2.5 cm = 4
Therefore, the ideal mechanical advantage of the hammer is 4.
To determine the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of the hammer, we can use the formula:
IMA = (input distance) / (output distance)
In this case, the input distance is 10 cm and the output distance is 2.5 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
IMA = 10 cm / 2.5 cm = 4
Therefore, the ideal mechanical advantage of the hammer is 4.
