Question

Calculate the mechanical advantage of a ramp if the box you are trying to move has a mass of 10 kilograms, the
board is 15 feet long and the height of the ramp is 5 feet .

3
300
150
45

Answer 1

Answer:

$MA = 3$

Explanation:

Given

$Box = 10kg$

$Ramp\ Height = 5ft$

$Ramp\ Length = 15ft$

Required

Determine the mechanical advantage

This is calculated as follows:

$MA = \frac{Ramp\ Length}{Ramp\ Height}$

$MA = \frac{15ft}{5ft}$

$MA = 3$

Hence, the mechanical advantage is 3
