Question

Calculate the mechanical advantage of a ramp if the box you are trying to move has a mass of 10 kilograms, the

board is 15 feet long and the height of the ramp is 5 feet .

3
300
150
45

Answer 1

`MA = 3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Box = 10kg`

`Ramp\ Height = 5ft`

`Ramp\ Length = 15ft`

Required

Determine the mechanical advantage

This is calculated as follows:

`MA = (Ramp\ Length)/(Ramp\ Height)`

`MA = (15ft)/(5ft)`

`MA = 3`

Hence, the mechanical advantage is 3
