(a) The mechanical advantage of the ramp is determined as 2.5.

(b) The pulley provides additional advantage since it assisted the boy in pulling up the load.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

The mechanical advantage of an object is the ratio of output force to input force, hence it is called force ratio.

<h3>Mechanical advantage of the ramp</h3>

M.A = Lp/h

where;

M.A = 10/4

M.A = 2.5
