Question

1. if a knife has a length of 10 and a width of 5 what is the ma of that knife? 1 4 3 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for mechanical advantage (MA) of a wedge

For a wedge (a knife is a type of wedge), the formula for mechanical advantage is \(MA=\frac{\text{Length}}{\text{Width}}\)

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given length \(L = 10\) and width \(W=5\), we substitute into the formula: \(MA=\frac{10}{5}\)

Step3: Calculate the value

\(\frac{10}{5}=2\)

Answer:

\(2\)
