How does a decrease in height affect the actual echanical advantage of the inclined plane?
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.
How is the mechanical advantage of a lever determined?
The 'ideal' mechanical advantage is length of the effort arm/length of the load arm .
How do you find the mechanical advantage of a ramp?
Length/ Hieght
What could be done to increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
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
What is the length of effort arm divided by length of resistance arm?

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane can be increased by increasing the ramp's horizontal?
length?
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
the formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divide by the height.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
The spokes of a wheel are comparable to levers. Longer spokes give more mechanical advantage. Even in a wheel that is solid, and has no spokes, the greater the diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage.

How torque amplifier works?
A torque multiplier increases the torque by increasing the length from which a bolt or nut is turned. This process is referred to as "mechanical advantage."
When you increase the length of your workout what are you increasing?
Length is measured in time. So, you are increasing the time of the workout.

The ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
Can a inclined plane have a mechanical advantage of less than 1?
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.
