IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.

If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25 N 100 N
