Question

The input distance on an inclined plane is 12 M and the output distance is 3 m. What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the inclined plane

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be calculated as

$\text{ ideal mechanical advantage = }\frac{\text{ Input distance}}{\text{ Output distance}}$

So, replacing input distance = 12 m and output distance = 3 m, we get:

$\text{ ideal mechanical advantage = }\frac{12\text{ m}}{3\text{ m}}=\text{ 4}$

Therefore, the answer is 4.
