Answer:
5
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Width of wedge = 2inches
Length of sloped side = 10inches
Unknown:
Mechanical advantage = ?
Solution:
A wedge is a simple machine used to split devices into two. It is a simple chisel.
The input force is through the width and the output wok done is through the length of the slope.
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force;
M. A =
therefore;
M.A = = 5
Mechanical advantage has no unit.
