Mechanical advantage is similar to the law of the lever.

For an ideal m/c. MA = OUTPUT TORQUE/INPUT TORQUE = INPUT SPEED/OUTPUT SPEED.

For an ideal machine, we are considering that friction and wear of machine are negligible.

So MA is 1.

Ideal machine is the machine in which friction is zero so input is equal to output so mechanical efficiency is 100% or 1.

Here mechanical efficiency is the ratio of mechanical advantage to the velocity ratio.

So MA=VR.

Velocity Ratio (VR) is calculated by dividing the distance moved by the effort by the distance moved by the load.

Efficiency = Mechanical advantage/Velocity ratio.

So for ideal machines efficiency=1.

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force lifting to the effort applied.

Davies Geoffrey said:   10 years ago
Efficiency is one only when mechanical advantage equals velocity ratio.

Amit said:   10 years ago
Its a ideal machine. So its efficiency equal to 1 (100%).

Sumi said:   5 years ago
A machine is said to be an ideal if its efficiency is?
