Question

Monica is loading a box that weighs 96 N into a truck. She pushes the box up a ramp using a force of 32 N. What is the mechanical advantage of the ramp?a. 3.0b. 128 Nc. 0.33d. 64 N

Answer 1

The mechanical advantage is given by:

In this case the output force is 96 N and the input force is 32 N, then we have:

`MA=(96)/(32)=3`

Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 3
