Mechanical Advantage of an Inclined Plane
To find the MA of an inclined plane, divide its length by its height.

MA = length / height

Interpret the diagram to answer the questions.

1. What is the height of the inclined plane?

2. What is the length of the inclined plane?

3. What is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane?

4. How much effort force would be needed to push the dump truck up the mountain?
