Question

If the length of a ramp (an inclined plane) is 20ft, and it rises 5ft, what is its MA? (APEX)

A.0.25

B.5

C.4

D.100

Answer 1

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Answer 2

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be calculated using the formula:


`IMA= (length of the slope)/(height of the ramp)`

The length of the ramp: 20ft
The height of the ramp: 5ft


`IMA= (length of the slope)/(height of the ramp)`

`IMA= (20ft)/(5ft)`

`IMA= 4`

The answer is then C.
