Expert Answer
Actual and practical machines are same.
Ideal and actual machines are different.
In practice, ideal machines do not exist.
Ideal machines are those whose parts are weightless and frictionless so that which there is no dissipation of energy in any manner. Its efficiency is 100%, i.e. the work output is equal to work input.
In practice, it is not possible to obtain 100% efficiency because when the work is done by the practical machines the input energy gets lost in the form of heat energy.
For better understanding check the difference between the ideal and practical machines.
