Question

What is the mechanical advantage of a wedge that is 2 inches at its widest part and has a sloped side with a length of 10 inches?

a. 0.2b. 5c. 8d. 20

Answer 1

B) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage = D/W

= 10/2

= 5.

It has no unit because the inches in the length and width will cancel out.
