What is it’s M.A.?

Question

An incline plane has length of 11 meters and a height of 3 meters.

Answer 1

Mechanical Advantage is defined as the ratio of Distance a (hypothetical) load travels on the incline to the Height it gets lifted to.

i.e. M.A. = Distance moved on the Incline / Vertical Height Achieved

= 11/3

= 3.67

Answer 2

Janiya,

The Mechanical Advantage of an inclined plane is defined as its length divided by its height. So in this case,

M.A. = (11 meters) / (3 meters) = 3.6666... ~ 3.67 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
