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.
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
Whichever has the greater Mechanical Advantage.
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a shaft. The inclined plane is a simple machine that offers the user a mechanical advantage. The shaft is what transmits a torque to that advantage.
the formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divide by the height.

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
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.
length?
Whichever has the greater Mechanical Advantage.
