Question

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4
