Taking a thin length of wood or similar, place end of wood to the front inside of the front tyre where it meets the floor. Lift wood until it is just below bottom of front skirt or whatever is the lowest point on the vehicle in front of the wheel. Hold in this position and measure the angle of the bottom of the wood to the floor. This is done at the front inside of the tyre. Calculate height required and length required of ramp to maintain this angle. This is the ideal slope for the ramp.

∙ 11y agothere are different types of vehicle ramps and different sets of ideals for varying situations. if you are in the united states, consult your local ordinance (typically is "unified building code").

Is the ideal mechanical advantage of the ramp is it's mechanical advantage with friction?
No, the ideal is without friction.
What is the ideal mechanical advantage of a ramp 3 meters long and 1.5 meters high?
the mechanical advantage would be 3 because you have to do 6 divided by 2.
If a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramp and efficiency would .?
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.
Examples of inclined planes?
It can be ramps, stair rails, path up hills, slides,slanted roads,stairs.........go on google.......there will be really helpful things.
What tipe of simple machine is a roof of a house?
It is a slope or inclined plane. It is also referred as a ramp. Normally a roof would not act as a ramp because it is not on ground level; however its shape and usage works as an inclined plane.
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
What is the maximum slope for a car ramp?
it depends...a ramp with transitions at top and bottom can be steeper than one without, because severe change in slope can cause the vehicle to bottom out.
What degree is a 15 percent ramp?
15%ramp is a rise of 15/100 = 0.15 slope angle is inverse tangent of this, or 8.53 degrees
what angle or degree must a handicap ramp have in order to pass code in Va.?
The portable ramp must be at least 42" wide and have a slope of 8 percent in Virginia.
Maximum slope of an ADA ramp?
The maximun slope of an ADA ramp is 8.3% or 12:1.
How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
Its the reciprocal of the sine of the ramp angle. > 1 / ( sin ( ramp angle ) )
Would a skateboard ramp have a greater slope than a handicap ramp?
yes
How do you make a toy car go fast down a ramp with out pushing it?
drop down a 89 degree slope, that way it will accelerate at the speed of gravity
Is it more difficult to run up a ramp with a slope of 15 or a ramp with a slope of 5 Explain.?
The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.
Is the speed of a car on a ramp affected by the degree of the slant of the ramp?
Yes. The degree and slant of the ramp does affect the speed of the car
What are some Real life example of slope?
a ramp
What does increasing the slope of the ramp do to the IMA?
Increase the IMA
