the formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divide by the height.
you adjust the ramp to where the ramp is steeper
Since the Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is inversely proportional to its height, increasing the height would lower your mechanical advantage and lowering the height would increase it.Alternately, mechanical advantage is directlyproportional to an inclined plane's length, therefore increasing the length would increase your mechanical advantage.
Decrease the angle to the horizontal. This is done by making it longer.
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
Mechanical Advantage
Long gently slope inclined plane
The slope of an inclined plane is found by dividing the rise of the plane by the run of the plane. also the ideal mechanical advantage.
The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is a ratio describing the length one has to travel to raise a load by a desired height. To obtain this ratio, divide the length of the plane's sloped face by the height of the inclined plane. IMA = Slope length / height
ignoring friction or ideal mechanical advantage
It decreasesThe greater the angle, the steeper the inclination, the less effective it is. The greater the horizontal distance traveled for every unit length of height gained, the greater the mechanical advantage. GO Michael cooper repersentin Monticello
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to length divided by height (l/h). Therefore, if the length is less than than the height, the mechanical advantage would be less than one.
Lesser the height of inclined plane, and more the length of it, More will be the mechanical advantage of inclined plane i.e less effort would be applied.
