If the distance from the input force to the fulcrum is greater than the

distance from the output force to the fulcrum, the ideal mechanical

advantage is greater than 1.

IMA = d in / d out.

Explanation:

The distance between the input force and the fulcrum changes by sliding the weight across the beam. To balance the beaker, the output force is applied. The formula for the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever is given as The ratio of the distance from input force to fulcrum to the distance from output force to the fulcrum is known as the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA).

IMA = distance from input force/distance from output source.

The IMA is greater than 1 if the distance from the input force to the fulcrum is greater than the distance from the output force to the fulcrum.
