Question

1. what is the equation used to determine the mechanical advantage of a wedge?

ma = width + length
ma = length / width
ma = width * length
ma = width - length

Explanation:

A wedge is a simple machine. The mechanical advantage (MA) of a wedge is calculated by dividing the length of the wedge by its width. This is because the longer the wedge (for a given width), the more it can multiply the input force.

Answer:

MA = length / width
