Question

An inclined plane has a ramp length of 4.0 meters and a height of 2.0 meters. What is the IMA of the inclined plane?

Answer 1

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of ramp = 4.0 m

Height of ramp = 2.0 m

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is the equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the inclined plane.

The formula of mechanical advantage as:

`MA=(l)/(h)`

`MA = (4.0)/(2.0)`

`MA=2.0`

Hence, The Ideal Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is 2.0

Answer 2

IMA=L/hIMA=4/2 IMA=2
