Question

the more gradual the slope of an inclined plane, the greater its mechanical advantage is. a true b false

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is calculated as the length of the slope divided by the height. A more gradual slope (smaller angle) means a longer slope for the same height. Since mechanical advantage \(MA=\frac{\text{length of slope}}{\text{height}}\), a longer slope (for fixed height) gives a greater mechanical advantage.

Answer:

A. TRUE
