To determine the length of the inclined plane, we can use the formula for mechanical advantage:
MA = length of incline / vertical distance
Given that the mechanical advantage is 2.3 and the vertical distance is 0.8 meters, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the length of the incline:
length of incline = MA * vertical distance
length of incline = 2.3 * 0.8
length of incline = 1.84 meters
Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is 1.84 meters. The answer is C. 1.84 m.
