Mechanical advantage (MA) is generally calculated using the formula:
**b) Length of Slope (L) / Height of Slope (H)**
This formula is specifically used for inclined planes and represents the ratio of the distance moved by the effort (length of slope) to the vertical distance moved (height).
If you are referring to other types of machines, mechanical advantage can be calculated differently depending on the specific context. However, for an inclined plane, option (b) is the correct choice.
