    IMA 5 Lever

    Hoosier12 replied to rfelton's topic in Engineering

    I am working on the same figure as above. I am stuck on the fact that does the amount of each load matter in calculating an IMA of greater than 5? I know the equations only involve distances between the force/load to fulcrum, but I see no mass in the calculations and I feel it should I guess? I am trying to combine two different classes of levers into a system with an IMA > 5. To get the total do you multiple the two IMA's of each lever? Thanks for your help! I am stuck!!!
