Given :
An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6 m long and 1.5 m.
To Find :
The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.
Solution :
Mechanical advantage, M.A of an inclined plane is given by :
[tex]M.A = \dfrac{\text{Length of slope}}{\text{Height of plane}}[/tex]
Putting given values in above equation, we get :
[tex]M.A = \dfrac{6 \ m}{1.5 \ m}\\\\M.A = 4[/tex]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 4.
