You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. Now you must get the very heavy rock into the back of a truck. The truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. Your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. At the same time, you (who know about mechanical advantage!) have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father.

Which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage? Calculate the MA for each plank.

HELP ME PLEASE! <3
