The amount of effort saved when using machines is called mechanical advantage (MA). Simple machines use mechanical advantage as a key property to their functionality, helping humans perform tasks that would require more force than a person could produce. We will use the lever as an example of a simple machine to illustrate the concept of mechanical advantage.

This video explains how to calculate the perimeter of various 2D shapes.

In this unit we will learn how these factors can affect the output of a simple machine. We will also learn about the difference between ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) and actual mechanical advantage (AMA), and how to apply your knowledge to calculate the efficiency of various simple machines.

This is a short tutorial on how to define and measure the perimeter of shapes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

1. Define the terms perimeter and area
2. Find the perimeter of any polygon
3. Find the perimeter and area of a trapezium, parallelogram, rectangle and square
4. Find the area of a triangle
5. Find the perimeter and area of a circle
