Which has a greater mechanical advantage along or short wide wedge?
a long wedge has a greater mechanical energy then a short wide wedge.
Is the mechanical advantage a constant value or can it be made to vary?
The mechanical advantage is a numerical relationship among the sizes of physical components of the machine. It's constant as long as the sizes of those parts of the machine are constant.
Can a mechanical advantage be a fraction?
Yes, mechanical advantage doesn't need to be a gear type which you can always count the ratio of teeth to a full number. A pulley type gear can be of a fraction in gear ratio. ========================== Think of a Class-1 lever ... like a see-saw ... that's 5 feet long, with the fulcrum 2 feet from one end: -- When the effort is applied to the longer side, the MA is 11/2 . -- When the effort is applied to the shorter side, the MA is 2/3 .
Is rope short or long?
Some of them are long and some are short.
Is a wedge with a rubber face legal?
Wedge has never been illegal in life as long as you're not using an ineligible fashion like hacking people up like a killer I think you could that bad boy any day
Which has a greater mechanical advantage along or short wide wedge?

How does a wedge work?
A wedge is used to take advantage of the fact that work done = force x distance.Simply put if you need to force two points apart a wedge allows you to use less force by moving a greater distance.If you knock a wedge into a piece of material by 10cms in order to widen the gap by 2cms it will take one fifth of the force to achieve this.If you think of a screw as being a nail with a very long wedge wrapped around it, you can force this into a solid piece of wood with one hand simply by taking advantage of the mechanical advantage that this wedge provides.
Would a short or long ramp have a greater mechanical advantage?
There is a mechanical advantage in using a long, gently sloping ramp than a short steep ramp. If you want to test this remember what goes up must come down and a long ramp gives you more time to react
Does a long gently sloped inclined plane or a short steep inclined plane have the greatest mechanical advantage?
Long gently slope inclined plane
What is the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever 7 meters long and 3 meters high?
The ideal mechanical advantage of the bar is 5.
What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp that is 8 m long and 2 m high porch?
The mechanical advantage is 8/2 = 4.
How is a slant related to a wedge?
The screw is one of the so-called "simple machines" from which many more complex machines are derived. A screw is essentially a long inclinewrapped around a shaft, so its mechanical advantage can be approached in the same way as the incline.
What knife gives best mechanical advantage?
a long and fat knife
How long is a ramp from the top of a pyramid to the ground that has a mechanical advantage of 4?
The height of the Great Pyramid = 139 metres The slope of a ramp with a mechanical advantage of 4 = 4x139 = 556m

Is a toilet flusher a lever?
Yes, but it sort of works in reverse. You usually use a lever to gain a mechanical advantage by having the load on the short end and applying pressure to the long end. The short end of the flush lever is pushed down a short distance and other end goes up a longer distance, giving you an advantage in distance.
