The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) - ignoring internal friction - of a lever depends on the ratio of the length of the lever arm where the force is applied divided by the length of the lever are that lifts the load. The IMA of a lever can be less than or greater than 1 depending on the class of the lever.
