Question

1. what would the mechanical advantage of a ramp be if the length is 20 feet and the height is 5 feet? 100 8 4 1000

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for mechanical advantage of a ramp

The formula for the mechanical advantage (MA) of a ramp is \(MA=\frac{\text{Length of the ramp}}{\text{Height of the ramp}}\)

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given length \(L = 20\) feet and height \(h=5\) feet. Then \(MA=\frac{20}{5}\)

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{20}{5}=4\)
