Question

calculating Mechanical Advantage inclined plane is 30 meters long and 2 meters high. What is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane? MA =

Answer 1

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

\[
\text{MA} = \frac{\text{Length of the Incline}}{\text{Height of the Incline}}
\]

In your case, the length of the incline is 30 meters and the height is 2 meters. Plugging in these values:

\[
\text{MA} = \frac{30 \, \text{meters}}{2 \, \text{meters}} = 15
\]

So, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is \( MA = 15 \).
